[00:06] <_unreal_> hello. when I was booting just before the gui started I saw some kind of an error flash across the screen something about an I/O failed.....
[00:07] <_unreal_> any idea how to find out what the error I saw was?
[00:14] <quillford_> is there a way to reinstall ubuntu but leave my files? I am having a lot of issues with apt-get
[00:15] <quillford_> one of the errors I get is this http://askubuntu.com/questions/520858/missing-system-settings-in-14-04-lts
[00:20] <akkad> apes you rule
[00:21] <millerti> What package do I need to install via apt-get to get pamtojpeg2k?  Netpbm doesn't seem to have it.
[00:22] <millerti> Or in general, I need some tool that will convert ppm to jpeg2000.  Any suggestions?
[00:23] <spjt> imagemagick?
[00:24] <millerti> spjt:  I found openjpeg-tools
[00:24] <spjt> http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php
[00:25] <millerti> Thanks.
[00:48] <BlackDalek> I seem to be missing module named pygtk_chart - I have python-gtk2-dev installed... where do I get this missing module?

[00:49] <_unreal_> any idea how to find out what the error I saw was?
[00:50] <bekks> _unreal_: type: dmesg
[00:51] <lasko> BlackDalek: Looks like a third party library,  ---  https://notmyname.github.io/pygtkChart/

[00:52] <_unreal_> I dont know if thats the erryr or not
[00:52] <_unreal_> error or not
[00:53] <Bashing-om> _unreal_: Might try booting to a text terminal, key combo ctl+s to 'pause' the output, ctl+o to continue the boot messages while booting- sometimes works .

[00:54] <matju> Hi, I have a problem. When I try to use menus, the mouse cursor goes behind the menubar (invisible). When click "under" a menu header, it does as if I press left arrow repeatedly (moves to menus to the left of where I clicked) and it moves the mouse cursor on its own. When I put the cursor where the dock is, it appears through the dock instead of in front of it. It only happens sometimes, but when it does, I have to logout to revert to normal. Any ide
[00:54] <matju> as ?
[00:55] <_unreal_> the thign I do know is my brother gave me this laptop because his wife couldnt use it,k it kept shutting off
[00:55] <_unreal_> I'm running ubuntu and its 10x more stable then when running win7
[00:55] <_unreal_> I'm wondering if the error has something to do with whats cuasing it to crash in windows
[00:56] <Bashing-om> _unreal_: Overheating ? Might try a good general blow-out of all the dust .
[00:57] <RudeViper> After much long consideration and self debate I have decided I am flat out SICK of WINDOZZZZZE - so I am in the process of clearing out space on my main hard drive to set up a dual boot scenario ( need time to get to truley learn linux before I domp MICROSCAM all togeter) - I am going to Use Ubuntu - my only consideration at this point is going to be which version - so I am asking for advice. (more to come)
[00:58] <lasko>  /window top
[00:58] <lasko> oops
[00:59] <roundcircle> RudeViper: 14.04
[00:59] <roundcircle> RudeViper: and stop the ms stuff
[00:59] <roundcircle> ;)
[01:01] <rgb-one> anyone here maintain any software projects?
[01:01] <RudeViper> roundcircle, that is what I am going to use - I am just wondering about the destop - not a fan of Unity - which of the other three XFCE KDE LXDE would be the easiest to get started with - most of the documentation I see focuses on Unity for obvious resons
[01:02] <bekks> rgb-one: what if?
[01:02] <Cree> That's crazy talk!
[01:03] <rypervenche> RudeViper: Depends on the resources available to you and what you want out of your machine.
[01:03] <roundcircle> RudeViper: my favourite is gnome 3
[01:03] <rgb-one> bekks: I would be grateful if you could impart some of your knowledge on the daily activities involved with administering and maintaining a repository.
[01:03] <corrupteddragon> !offtopic
[01:04] <bekks> rgb-one: I am running quite a few SVN repos for different purposes. So whats you actual Ubuntu related question about it?
[01:04] <roundcircle> RudeViper: rypervenche and which style you like
[01:04] <rgb-one> bekks: No Ubuntu related question.
[01:04] <RudeViper> dual core processor - 4gb ram - 55ti nvidia graphics card - so resources aren't a problem I would think - which is easiest to learn with - I have messed with all of them that I mentioned but not enough to know which is really good for the beginner
[01:05] <roundcircle> RudeViper: you can try and then work with the one that suits you
[01:05] <brent> hey guys, is there a release/beta for ubuntu desktop with the kernel that
[01:05] <RudeViper> ok - btw - that last drive crashed - the one I wanted the check run on
[01:05] <rypervenche> RudeViper: I would look at some screenshots online for each DE and see which one you like the best. As far as resources go, KDE and Gnome will use up the most, then Xfce, then lxde. Lxde is very light, but lacking in features/beauty.
[01:05] <brent> doesnt require a reboot
[01:06] <CompuDesktop> brent: u cant update the kernel without a reboot
[01:06] <lasko> brent: If you are upgrading to a new kernel -- then you will always need to reboot in order for that kernel to be used.
[01:06] <MarkRogers> RudeViper:  I say go with XFCE.  Straightforward solid desktop, plenty customizable, mature, easy.
[01:06] <rypervenche> RudeViper: I prefer Xfce out of all of those you named. But it should be a decision that you research.
[01:06] <RudeViper> MarkRogers - ok thanks
[01:07] <brent> im on 14.04, which still requires reboots after updates etc. I heard there is a kernel release that allows updates without rebooting
[01:07] <CompuDesktop> RudeViper: i myself prefer the ubuntu main release, its more resource heavy but i like the design
[01:07] <lasko> brent: Updating packages don't require reboots, but if you are upgrading something major -- for instance-- a kernel -- then you would have to
[01:07] <bekks> brent: Which is untrue. You need to run Oracle Linux 7 at least for patching your kernel at runtime.
[01:08] <CompuDesktop> brent: no, and u only have to reboot for updates that r updating something that is in use while the operating system is running
[01:08] <Bashing-om> RudeViper:  Beginner tutorials : http://blog.jdpfu.com/2014/12/28/learning-linux . Takes time and useage to decide on the DE that "you" prefer - mine is XFCE .
[01:08] <RudeViper> thanks for that link
[01:08] <CompuDesktop> RudeViper: KDE is my secondary preference
[01:09] <CompuDesktop> Gnome looks nice but i've had problems with bugs
[01:09] <CompuDesktop> Gnome 3 that is
[01:10] <RudeViper> I have a great deal of unfavorable things about gnome3 - if I go the gnome route - I would prefer to stay with gnome2
[01:10] <brent> ok, i was just hoping that there was a way to have my ubuntu desktop up 24/7 without having to reboot on important updates. I remember reading a while a go that something (kernel?) had an update that allowed the system to never have to reboot. I can't remember what linux it was.
[01:12] <lasko> brent: You never need to reboot, just like you never need to update. Updates are optional and only needed when you have a need to update. e.g. security or bug fixes to particular applications/libraries you use regularly.
[01:13] <MarkRogers> RudeViper, I go for unity since I mainly use a laptop and I have plenty of width but not enough height on my screen, and unity uses a side panel.
[01:13] <OerHeks> brent, what you might have heard is that systemD had that feature, updates will be plugged in live
[01:14] <rypervenche> RudeViper: Gnome2 does not exist anymore. Check out the Desktop Environment part of http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ultimate-linux-guide-for-windows-users.html
[01:14] <OerHeks> mate desktop is the closest gnome2 look on gnome3
[01:14] <brent> lasko, it seems then i have misinterpreted
[01:15] <MarkRogers> RudeViper, also you might not know but you can have lxde, xfce, and unity all installed and just pick which one each time you want.  Right now I'm on a laptop originally installed as lubuntu but with ubuntu packages installed and I'm logged in using unity, so it's like I'm using ubuntu.
[01:17] <crash__> hey guys, newbie here, anybody know how to use the crouton ubuntu installer for the chromebook? If so, I just installed trusty to a flash drive, it finished with "Done! You can enter the chroot using enter-chroot." Just wondering how to properly use this little beast now, dI dont think its bootable, do I use enter-chroot in the shell in developers mode? I dont want to break anything, I took me a long time to get this far.
[01:18] <daftykins> crouton isn't supported here, as it's a hack
[01:18] <daftykins> plenty of guides online with how to install things on chromebooks that don't quite belong there :)
[01:24] <_unreal_> Bashing-om, already tried blowing out dust.
[01:24] <_unreal_> its not the issue
[01:24] <_unreal_> this laptop DOES run reallllllly hot thought
[01:28] <Bashing-om> _unreal_: 'Nother thouhgt then is the grahics (GPU) .. what graphics set and driver is in use ? Might try changing the graphics driver ?
[01:30] <Geo> Does anyone have an idea/experience using a DHCP server to give out IPs to new devices joining a network, but then 'reserving' or otherwise making those IPs static? Are there any tools out there that do that? Conversely, is there perhaps a method that would assign a DHCP upon join, but then (assuming known logins) connect to the client and configure it w/ a static IP?
[01:35] <jennie> can someone please tell me why I am not able to go in 'SU'? http://i.imgur.com/TlQhU13.jpg
[01:36] <Two_Dogs> jennie: tried sudo su?
[01:37] <bekks> sudo su is just nonsense.

[01:38] <flan_suse> Anyone else have an issue with updating Google Chrome recently? APT says that the GPG key is no longer valid (Google's), and when I manually install the .deb package, it does not add the Google DEB repository or key.

[01:39] <Ben64> yeah, but its got to be a google problem
[01:39] <flan_suse> Ben64: That's the same error I am getting. :(
[01:39] <flan_suse> Okay, so I'm not the only one. That's good to know.
[01:39] <bekks> That s awarning, no error.
[01:40] <flan_suse> bekks: But it refused to update my google-chrome-browser package.
[01:40] <Ben64> it asked me if i wanted to ignore
[01:40] <flan_suse> Ben64: bekks: It just started today.
[01:41] <Bashing-om> flan_suse: Google-chrome update : I too had the GPG error rearlier, thought it Google's problem, updating now and looks good .

[01:48] <flan_suse> Yeah. Looks like something is amiss on their end.
[01:49] <flan_suse> I wonder if it just applies to their latest package.

[02:06] <Geo> Does anyone have an idea/experience using a DHCP server to give out IPs to new devices joining a network, but then 'reserving' or otherwise making those IPs static? Are there any tools out there that do that? Conversely, is there perhaps a method that would assign a DHCP upon join, but then (assuming known logins) connect to the client and configure it w/ a static IP?
[02:07] <MonkeyDust> Geo  that would more be for ##networking, i guess
[02:08] <pavlos> Geo, the D in DHCP means Dynamic. Wouldn't that void the 'static'?
[02:17] <Neldogz> What is the proper way to change your default domain name in Ubuntu 14 from machine1.home to machine1.mydomain ?
[02:20] <Ben64> Neldogz: where do you see machine1.home
[02:23] <pavlos> Neldogz, /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts
[02:24] <pavlos> Neldogz, man hostname
[02:26] <Neldogz> pavlos, where is .home being set?
[02:27] <pavlos> Neldogz, I dont know, I just gave it a hostname upon install, no dot home
[02:28] <Neldogz> pavlos, so did i.. yet it's coming up on the network as machine1.home
[02:28] <Neldogz> looking in the resolv.conf file it appears a search suffix is added in there of home
[02:28] <Neldogz> but since we cant edit this file by hand.. where can we?
[02:29] <Ben64> Neldogz: where are you seeing it come up as .home
[02:29] <Neldogz> Ben64, try pinging your own host name and add a .local
[02:29] <Neldogz> or .home
[02:29] <marcospms> hi
[02:30] <Ben64> Neldogz: doesn't work
[02:30] <pavlos> Neldogz, you can just type hostname mynewhostname, then reboot
[02:30] <Geo> pavelz: very astute. The client would initially be sent an IP on a dynamic basis with which to register it on the network. Once its on, I'm done with the 'dynamic' part. Making it static from that point on.
[02:30] <Geo> MonkeyDust, I'll try there as well, thanks
[02:30] <gr33n7007h> you don't even have to reboot
[02:30] <Ben64> if you do change your hostname though, be sure to change it also in /etc/hosts
[02:32] <pavlos> Geo, I assume by pavelz you mean my name ... this is more a networking issue, you can actually 'lock' an ip using the mac address.
[02:40] <Mr_Hales> I have a Pavilion 23 All-In-One. Sound for both devices under Settings -> Sound plays through the headphones. No sound comes out of the integrated speakers. Any suggestions?
[02:44] <MrEikono> Hey everyone!
[02:44] <MrEikono> I am now an official Ubuntu user. ^-^
[02:45] <jtdoncas> my condolences
[02:45] <serpong> hi
[02:46] <FIFI> what do you mean official?
[02:46] <mutual> that's great MrEikono
[02:47] <mutual> jtdoncas: why?
[02:47] <FIFI> bill gates will let all you pirates to upgrade to windows 10
[02:48] <MrEikono> well my friend said I'm an official user now lol
[02:48] <aeon-ltd> not actually confirmed to be free yet
[02:48] <MrEikono> he's helped me for like the past two hours for this
[02:48] <FIFI> cause you wont be able to boot ubuntu on new EUFI boards
[02:48] <jtdoncas> mutual: jk
[02:48] <MrEikono> ?
[02:48] <MrEikono> won't be able to?
[02:49] <FIFI> depending on hardwaer vendors
[02:49] <mutual> jtdoncas lol
[02:49] <FIFI> its up to them
[02:49] <FIFI> http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/03/windows-10-to-make-the-secure-boot-alt-os-lock-out-a-reality/
[02:49] <aeon-ltd> i remember the last time this came up, then came the option of disabling secure boot
[02:50] <FIFI> its up to hardware vendors to have ot not that option in EUFI bios
[02:50] <dahlquist> i used to have a boyfriend named "Ubuntu" once
[02:50] <dahlquist> he would "play the bongos" on my ass
[02:50] <FIFI> im guessing discounts for the ones that pick the NOT version
[02:51] <Ben64> !ot
[02:51] <mutual> Ben64 thank you
[02:52] <serpong> hi
[02:52] <FIFI> also hardware vendors might feel more confortable not having to support other OSs
[02:52] <serpong> i like ubuntu
[02:52] <FIFI> so by by linux
[02:52] <Ben64> FIFI: you're wrong, and offtopic
[02:52] <FIFI> i hope so
[02:52] <FIFI> but am I?
[02:52] <mutual> FIFI please move to #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:53] <FIFI> im not banned there anymore?
[02:53] <FIFI> maybe you can lift the ban
[02:53] <FIFI> ty
[02:53] <mutual> FIFI I'm not a mod or admin
[02:53] <Ben64> continuing to be offtopic in here will only get you a ban here

[02:55] <emjac> hi guys. I am doing sudo updatedb and it isn't working. Any ideas? Thanks
[02:55] <Ben64> emjac: how is it not working
[02:55] <pavlos> emjac, what is the error?
[02:56] <emjac> Ben64, pavlos. There is no error. Just runs really quickly and then locate doesn't find new files.
[02:56] <xmetal> reinstalled ubuntu here ... 14.04 this time (since its LTS) ... seems slower (unity overall) ... pondering on switching or not
[02:56] <xmetal> (what version i mean)
[02:57] <Ben64> xmetal: you might need to install graphics drivers, or you can try another desktop, like gnome-fallback, xfce, kde, lxde...etc
[02:57] <jtdoncas> unity is pretty bad/slow
[02:58] <pavlos> emjac, I usually prefix/suffix with date, in my system it takes 3-4 seconds and I'm able to locate files
[02:58] <xmetal> really without installling anything extra (say drivers) ... on my system anyway .. 14.10 seemed faster overall than 14.04
[02:58] <xmetal> Unity ...really has grown on me
[02:59] <mutual> I like unity, but I have an 8 core processor so no speed issues
[02:59] <jtdoncas> xmetal: like a disease? :D
[02:59] <Ben64> emjac: pastebin "locate -S; touch ~/testfilefoo; sudo updatedb; locate -S"
[02:59] <FIFI> like cancer
[03:03] <odsent_> anyone here use gnumeric?
[03:03] <FIFI> ubuntu has signed bootloader for UEFI bios right?
[03:03] <emjac> Ben64, here you go http://pastebin.com/u0yTaMRA
[03:03] <FIFI> you dont really need to disable secureboot
[03:04] <Ben64> emjac: looks like it works fine
[03:06] <FIFI> bibi64 ubuntu has signed bootloader for UEFI bios right?
[03:07] <emjac> Ben64, then why when I do locate testfilefoo I get nothing?
[03:08] <Ben64> emjac: hmm
[03:12] <pavlos> emjac, ls -l /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db ... does the date change after you do a sudo updatedb?
[03:14] <emjac> pavlos, yes it changes
[03:14] <pavlos> emjac, strange ... I did what Ben64 wrote, locate testfile works for me ... /home/user/testfilefoo
[03:17] <upm> Is dash simply bash stripped of all features that could make it non-POSIX compliant?
[03:18] <upm> (Asked this in ##linux without getting a clear answer, of course I searched myself yet want to ensure I understood the difference)
[03:21] <Mr_Hales> Pavilion 23. I think the problem is that the internal speakers aren't even showing up. I had assumed 'Analog Output' would be the internal because it was the only other device listed, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
[03:21] <Mr_Hales> aplay -l identifies the card as ALC3228
[03:21] <Mr_Hales> Analog#
[03:22] <Mr_Hales> Sound works through the headphones just fine.
[03:22] <Mr_Hales> When I unplug the headphones (I see this just now) the Headphones changes to Speakers
[03:22] <Mr_Hales> No sound.
[03:24] <pavlos> emjac, locate --version
[03:24] <emjac> pavlos, 0.26
[03:25] <pavlos> emjac, I cannot find anything why this happens
[03:26] <emjac> pavlos, thanks anyways
[03:28] <Mr_Hales> Nevermind, found an alternate solution.
[03:30] <datahead8888> if I build something from source, how do I tell it to install in /lib rather than /usr/local/lib?
[03:30] <datahead8888> I used sudo make install after running make
[03:32] <mrnorrisman> hey
[03:32] <datahead8888> hello
[03:33] <mrnorrisman> I am having an issue with trying to install the amd catalyst drivers
[03:33] <datahead8888> mrnorrisman,  if I build something from source, how do I tell it to install in /lib rather than /usr/local/lib?  I used sudo make install
[03:33] <mrnorrisman> um i have no clue sorry im pretty much a newb at linux :P
[03:33] <datahead8888> I don't know on the amd question, sorry
[03:35] <mutual> datahead8888 mrnorrisman if you both wait around a bit you should get your questions answered
[03:35] <mrnorrisman> Will do! :P
[03:35] <Ben64> datahead8888: it shouldn't matter where it goes, and you should really avoid compiling stuff whenever possible. there are tons of packages available in the ubuntu repositories, and even more available from PPAs
[03:35] <mutual> mrnorrisman you should elaborate on the problem though
[03:36] <datahead8888> Ben64, I'm compiling a library from source, and I can see while debugging that the second app I'm working on that uses it is looking in the other directory
[03:36] <datahead8888> When I build the library, it goes to /usr/local/lib
[03:36] <Ben64> yeah thats normal, but you should really find a PPA or find the library in the normal repositories
[03:36] <datahead8888> When I build the app I'm going to work on (with cmake) it looks in the /lib directory - I can see this because I told it to print the include variable it has
[03:37] <Ben64> sounds like a bad app then
[03:37] <datahead8888> I got the app from someone else in a university research lab - he had built it on Windows, but the library has been used by several people
[03:38] <mrnorrisman> Well basically I am trying to use the AMD catalyst drivers instead of the open-source ubuntu ones... But when I finally got the drivers "installed" when i reboot the system it was stuck at the splash screen and I had to run in recovery mode then remove the catalyst drivers :/
[03:38] <datahead8888> I would assume there's some way to tell Ubuntu to use or not use the /usr directory while installing
[03:39] <Ben64> using /usr is the proper way, the application is in the wrong by not looking in normal places for libraries, also please look for it in the repositories i mentioned!!!
[03:39] <mrnorrisman> datahead8888, this may help?  ./configure --prefix=/your/path $$ make && make install
[03:39] <mrnorrisman> where /your/path is where you want to install your program.
[03:40] <datahead8888> I doubt this stuff in in the repositories (though the library is in github)
[03:40] <Ben64> datahead8888: stop doubting and start looking
[03:43] <mrnorrisman> datahead8888, did you try using that ./configure --prefix-/your/path $$ make && make install thingy i mentioned?
[03:44] <datahead8888> I wasn't sure what it would do if I did that; I was first looking for a repo as Ben64 suggested
[03:44] <datahead8888> I'd need to know what path to put for prefix -- / ?
[03:46] <mrnorrisman> isnt the path /lib?
[03:47] <datahead8888> I need includ files to go to /include and libraries to go to /lib
[03:47] <datahead8888> Sorry, I should have been more specific
[03:47] <Ben64> there is no /include
[03:47] <datahead8888> indeed, you are correct
[03:48] <datahead8888> I need to look into configuring the library that I built to change its install directories
[03:48] <Ben64> what library is it
[03:48] <datahead8888> This one:
[03:48] <datahead8888> https://github.com/GRAVITYLab/OSUFlow
[03:49] <Ben64> gl with that
[03:49] <datahead8888> gl?
[03:49] <datahead8888> It uses OpenGL, yes
[03:49] <Ben64> good luck
[03:49] <datahead8888> Oh....:)
[03:50] <Ben64> you may want to contact the developers of the library and/or the application
[03:50] <datahead8888> Maybe, if I can't configure it
[03:50] <datahead8888> I can email them if needed
[03:50] <datahead8888> I have their email addresses
[03:50] <mrnorrisman> you guys are way over my head so i cant really help sorry :P
[03:52] <datahead8888> Ben64, thanks for setting me straight on /include
[03:52] <datahead8888> It wasn't just an Ubuntu option I needed to change :)
[03:53] <datahead8888> mrnorrisman - I feel like this in forums all the time :)
[03:53] <datahead8888> Questions are often very specific
[03:54] <jennie> http://i.imgur.com/ZAMaiPj.jpg  how to install it? :-S
[03:56] <serpong> hi
[03:56] <serpong> what is the domain about this server
[03:57] <pavlos> jennie, what are the permissions of that .run file?
[03:58] <[n0mad]> jennie, try this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/18747/how-do-i-install-run-files
[03:59] <jennie> thanks
[03:59] <gr33n7007h> jennie: make sure the bin file is executable :)
[04:00] <jennie> Alright
[04:01] <drose379> Anyone had the issue where the laptop doesnt wake from suspend when you open the lid?
[04:01] <drose379> Using 14.04.2
[04:08] <mrnorrisman> well im going to give up for tonight guys... ill probably work on it again tommorow  maybe :/
[04:18] <datahead8888> Ben64, the root installation directory for this library I was having trouble with is configurable via a CMake variable
[04:23] <ablest1980> hello
[04:24] <ablest1980> how do i clean up my sys
[04:24] <vexn> hi Ben64
[04:25] <aeon-ltd> ablest1980: cleanup like how?
[04:25] <ablest1980> delete history tmp files and stuff
[04:26] <ablest1980> i think its running slow
[04:26] <xangua> nonsense
[04:26] <aeon-ltd> you could find out why it's running slow first
[04:26] <Ben64> vexn: yes?
[04:27] <aeon-ltd> get a resource monitor and check, are you short on ram, is the cpu maxing out for too long, are you writing a lot to the hdd(swap)?
[04:27] <ablest1980> i dont know
[04:27] <ablest1980> i have 4gb ram but my system hold up to 8gb
[04:28] <cfhowlett> max the ram almost always pays off
[04:28] <kramer3d> hi, when i run sudo apt-get update, i get W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
[04:28] <cfhowlett> !aptlock | kramer3d
[04:28] <ablest1980> i was looking to get more ram too
[04:28] <aeon-ltd> first check if you need more
[04:29] <vexn> i was just saying hi Ben64
[04:29] <vexn> :)
[04:29] <kramer3d> cfhowlett, i get unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system
[04:30] <Ben64> vexn: hello :)
[04:30] <ablest1980> how do i check?
[04:31] <ablest1980> im downloading bleachbit
[04:32] <ablest1980> is it safe to check everything in bleachbit?
[04:32] <emjac> ls
[04:33] <kramer3d> cfhowlett, the error is coming after this line: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[04:33] <cfhowlett> kramer3d, sorry, I'm not familiar with this one.
[04:33] <kramer3d> O_O
[04:33] <kramer3d> im gonna reinstall
[04:33] <kramer3d> screw it =/
[04:34] <Ben64> ablest1980: it might remove things you dont want removed
[04:43] <cp> c
[04:45] <[n0mad]> kramer3d, i don't know that i can be much more help but have you tried this link? http://askubuntu.com/questions/399709/install-with-sudo-app-get-install-doesnt-work-not-using-locking-for-read-only
[04:45] <[n0mad]> i don't really know anything about what it's doing other than remounting something read write
[04:45] <kramer3d> [n0mad], too late, im in the middle of reinstalling OS
[04:45] <[n0mad]> ah, alright
[04:46] <kramer3d> its so much quicker
[04:46] <kramer3d> also im booting this desktop up after a year
[04:46] <[n0mad]> lol
[04:46] <kramer3d> i have no idea what state its in
[04:46] <[n0mad]> hey, it powers on so that's a good start!
[04:46] <kramer3d> ya
[04:47] <cyberpolice> how do i tell if a partition is primary or logical or extended?
[04:54] <[n0mad]> cyberpolice, this may help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition/PartitioningBasics#Partitioning_basics it explains it
[04:55] <cyberpolice> thanks
[04:55] <[n0mad]> basically you could have primary partitions and then extended partitions. logical partitions would be inside of the extended partition
[04:56] <[n0mad]> but i don't know a good way really to identify them in linux...still getting used to the different tools and what they show
[04:56] <kramer3d> [n0mad], im installing 12.04 LTS Kubuntu ... will it automatically try to update as soon as it connects to internet?
[04:57] <elfer> probably
[04:57] <xangua> if there are security updates, yes
[04:58] <xangua> if you specifically mean 12.04 iso you could instead download 12.04.2
[04:58] <xangua> 12.04.5 I mean, don't know what point release is 12.04 at
[04:58] <elfer> if you don't want it to update right away... after bootup, click network-manager icon... edit connections... wired connection 1 > and uncheck 'connect automatically'
[04:59] <gr33n7007h> cyberpolice: sudo parted -l will show you what what type of partitions they are
[04:59] <elfer> cyperpolice: are you the police?
[04:59] <cyberpolice> yea i am, im doing my rounds of the internet neighborhood
[05:00] <cyberpolice> checking in with the community and connecting
[05:00] <elfer> neighborhood watch?
[05:00] <cyberpolice> yea :D
[05:02] <cyberpolice> im trying to expand / but confused what order to do things in. its in sda6 crypt-luks, and inside luks is lvm, and inside lvm is /. some guides say to expand the lvm first, some guides say expand the filesystem first. which do i do first?
[05:08] <[n0mad]> over my head unfortunately.
[05:19] <cyberpolice> i will be back after restart
[05:34] <cyberpolice> hello
[05:34] <cyberpolice> if i made my swap 8gb when i had 8gb ram, and now i have 16gb ram, should i resize the swap?
[05:35] <Ben64> if you want to hibernate, yes
[05:35] <cestdiego> !packaging
[05:35] <cyberpolice> Ben64: 16gb swap then?
[05:36] <Ben64> if you want to hibernate, you need to have swap equal or greater to your memory size
[05:36] <Stifler> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[05:37] <cyberpolice> Ben64: thanks for that distilled concise knowledge
[05:40] <linuxer1> I'm trying to line up some PCI requirements with Ubuntu.  Is a Ubuntu security notice released for every security update?
[05:52] <sheap> is there a way to find out how many packages are in a repository?
[05:52] <gr33n7007h> sheap: apt-cache search ".*" | wc -l # should do it
[05:53] <sheap> gr33n7007h: ok thanks, do you know if there's a way to see the total size of all packages in a repo?
[05:55] <gr33n7007h> sheap: not off me head
[05:58] <gr33n7007h> sheap: apt-cache show ".*" | grep "Package\|Size" # or something like that
[05:58] <sheap> gr33n7007h: yea sorta on the same track except it's picking up installed size as well
[05:59] <sheap> gr33n7007h: ah just figured it out with 'grep -v "Installed-"
[05:59] <sheap> thanks:D
[06:00] <gr33n7007h> that's what I was a grep for then :)
[06:01] <anti-unix> hi
[06:10] <hehnope> hey everyone. What happened to the virtio drivers 14.04? I cannot load the modules and modinfo shows them as missing
[06:12] <compdoc> hehnope, thats not good
[06:15] <hehnope> compdoc: I found it here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/amd64/virtio-modules-3.16.0-31-generic-di/3.16.0-31.43~14.04.1 but cannot find the package via apt-cache/apt-file
[06:16] <compdoc> hehnope, you shouldnt have to add them
[06:16] <compdoc> unless thats a major change
[06:16] <hehnope> what do you mean add them?
[06:17] <hehnope> this is what i'm seeing in my 14.04 guest server:
[06:17] <hehnope> # modinfo virtio
[06:17] <hehnope> modinfo: ERROR: Module virtio not found.
[06:17] <hehnope> latest updates, etc.
[06:17] <compdoc> oh, though you meant you found them and could add them
[06:17] <hack-neo-zero> Hola
[06:17] <hack-neo-zero> :)
[06:19] <Stifler> hehnope: is it something to do with the way you start the install? I think there is an option when you first boot the installer (F4 Modes). Theres a vm specific option
[06:19] <Stifler> Just a guess.
[06:20] <bojan> HI can anybody please help me on this issue.."if i open file in libreoffice the icon is still icons are in my tray"??
[06:20] <bojan> Even after i close my file
[06:21] <azizLIGHT> how dangerous is it to upgrade from 14.04 to 14.10
[06:21] <hehnope> no idea, it's just weird that i cannot even load the guest modules
[06:22] <azizLIGHT> i have lots of ppa
[06:22] <azizLIGHT> is it worth it for me to upgrade? how can i know what will break/or not
[06:27] <hehnope> Stifler: "VirtIO is built into the Linux kernel so no additional installation is required for Linux VMs with recent kernels (2.6.35 and newer). "
[06:27] <hehnope> looks like its good
[06:29] <Stifler> hmm. I was also thinking of the ubuntu-server version anyway, it was an option for minimial vm-kernel install or some such. So sorry, not related.
[06:34] <bojan> if i open file in libreoffice the icon is still are in my tray even i close my file...So it is continuously making icons whenever i open file...I can see only libreoffice icon on my tray....
[06:39] <Stifler> hehnope: Is there anything in /lib/modules/[version]-generic/drivers/virtio ??
[06:39] <keags> bojan: run a (ps -A | grep libreoffice) and see if they are stillrunnning after you have closed them.
[06:40] <keags> bojan: If they are still running use (suo kill <process id>)
[06:40] <keags> bojan: If they are still running use (sudo kill <process id>)
[06:42] <keags> Stifler: I found Kconfig and Makefile
[06:43] <bojan> Keags:The file is closed but the icon still remaining
[06:43] <keags> Stifler: However my dir was /lib/modules/<ver>-generic/build/drivers/virtio
[06:43] <bojan> Keags:if i open another file and closed then a new icon created
[06:43] <Stifler> :-P !!
[06:43] <bojan> Keags:Once if i restart my computer i cant see anything
[06:44] <keags> bojan: yes it sounds like even though you are closing the application there is stilla process running
[06:45] <keags> bojan: Have you run the check i sent you (ps -A | grep libreoffice)
[06:45] <Stifler> forgot build! seems like an odd one for hehnope!
[06:45] <bojan> Keags:The thing i analysed that this problem was not happened to me in Libreoffice 3. version...Its happening in 4. version
[06:46] <bojan> Keags:If i run the command no output is coming
[06:47] <keags> bojan: Ok then it sounds like it is closed but it is not removing the icon from the tray in your desktop manager.
[06:48] <bojan> Keags:Yes ofcourse
[06:49] <keags> bojan: Ok i only run server never use desktopmanager so i wont be able to help you with that
[06:50] <bojan> Keags:Ok thank u
[07:01] <PrincessHollyS> Is it possible to chage the directory grub-efi installs it's bootloader into? My Sister's toshiba laptop has a shitty UEFI implimentation and will only boot if the file is located in a very specific directory. Currently moved it there manually, but that means if grub is updated it won't actually update the .efi file.
[07:05] <abhishek_> hplip tool canot detect my hp g4010 scanner .. I have tried with xsane .. but it displays black image
[07:06] <PrincessHollyS> abhishek_, have you updated hplip with the HP version? The verion in ubuntu is super outdated...
[07:06] <abhishek_> PrincesHollyS I am using ubuntu 12.10
[07:07] <abhishek_> Os is update as I installed hplip yesterday
[07:07] <abhishek_> from repo
[07:07] <PrincessHollyS> again, the HPLIP in ubuntu is super outdated. Try updating with the one from the HP website.
[07:08] <PrincessHollyS> See if you still have issues.
[07:11] <PrincessHollyS> actually my apologies, scanjets aren't supported by hplip
[07:11] <lighta> hi here, so quick question, how can I list only subdir, but not the current directory ?
[07:11] <abhishek_> princessholly .. actually it can not detect my device ..
[07:12] <abhishek_> do u know how can i debug what is exact problem ?
[07:12] <PrincessHollyS> abhishek_, yes. hplip doesn't support scanjet devices.
[07:12] <PrincessHollyS> I just doublechecked
[07:12] <PrincessHollyS> You need the sane driver for it, not the hplip one
[07:12] <PrincessHollyS> Do you have sane-genesys installed?
[07:13] <abhishek_> sane-genesys is not available in repo !! I tried
[07:13] <PrincessHollyS> libsane-common is the package it's part of
[07:13] <abhishek_> ok I am trying
[07:14] <abhishek_> let me check this one .. If image is comming black this must be a driver problem ..
[07:14] <abhishek_> thank u so much pricessholly
[07:14] <abhishek_> :)
[07:16] <EriC^^> PrincessHollyS: you could add your own line to /etc/default/grub
[07:17] <EriC^^> sudo cp .../ubuntu/shimx64.efi .../Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
[07:18] <EriC^^> sorry, no sudo
[07:19] <PrincessHollyS> EriC^^, I already did that, but put it under the /EFI/Boot directory, rather than /EFI?Microsoft so as not to override the windows bootloader. But how do I tell ubuntu where to put the grub stubloader if it needs to update?
[07:20] <EriC^^> PrincessHollyS: i have no idea, i'm not sure grub has files with that or it's in its binary
[07:20] <PrincessHollyS> abhishek_, reading up on that driver and iit seems the kernel scanner driver can interfere with it. Did you try running "rmmod scanner" before scanning?
[07:21] <EriC^^> PrincessHollyS: i meant you could add that line at the end of /etc/default/grub , i just tried touch ~/bla and it got executed when i ran update-grub
[07:21] <EriC^^> if you add that line it would copy over the grub .efi file every time it updates grub
[07:22] <PrincessHollyS> I guess that would work yeah
[07:22] <EriC^^> i wonder if it modified /boot/grub/grub.cfg in any way, grep bla returns nothing
[07:22] <PrincessHollyS> Just seems an awkward way to do it xD
[07:23] <EriC^^> yeah i know, i thought about using the preinst scripts and such but it would need some magic almost
[07:23] <EriC^^> unless grub has a config file that doesn't get overwritten when apt upgrades the version
[07:24] <EriC^^> maybe there's a cleaner more elegant way, who knows :D
[07:26] <Stifler> Hey! I'm no expert on grub2, but found this: http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/grub2.html Does it help? He mentions creating stanzas in /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[07:27] <abhishek_> PrincesshollyS : no
[07:27] <abhishek_> PricenssHollyS what  is actual issue with grub ?
[07:28] <Stifler> its probably more about menu opts..
[07:30] <Stifler> Does talk about chainloading; perhaps an option?
[07:30] <EriC^^> PrincessHollyS: you're going to need to do something similar anyways, cause i dont think you can have grub install its bootloader in another dir using another name too
[07:32] <PrincessHollyS> Yup, did that. Just didn't like doing it :P
[07:33] <EriC^^> PrincessHollyS: you mean you added it to /etc/default/grub?
[07:33] <PrincessHollyS> Wish she would just let me give her rEFInd xD
[07:33] <PrincessHollyS> yeah
[07:33] <EriC^^> k let me try it out first and reboot
[07:34] <PrincessHollyS> It's working fine here
[07:34] <EriC^^> did you try rebooting yet?
[07:34] <PrincessHollyS> Yeah
[07:34] <EriC^^> ok cool
[07:34] <PrincessHollyS> The grub.cfg is fine.
[07:37] <PrincessHollyS> Stifler, another stupid question, are there secureboot signed versions of the grub modules, like videoinfo?
[07:38] <PrincessHollyS> oops, not sure why that name was at the beginning, sorry.
[07:39] <Stifler> lol! As I said, no expert on grub. Been interesting following though! any knowledge is good knowledge!!
[07:39] <PrincessHollyS> Yeah, my apologies. As I said, I didn't mean to say your name there.
[07:45] <EriC^^> PrincessHollyS: i figured out a slightly more elegant solution
[07:45] <PrincessHollyS> Oh? What's that?
[07:45] <EriC^^> make your own script in /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/efi/ and chmod it
[07:45] <EriC^^> it'll execute when update-grub runs
[07:46] <EriC^^> i made one called bla, it worked
[07:46] <EriC^^> btw are you dual booting?
[07:48] <PrincessHollyS> She is yep. Windows 8.1, Windows XP, and Ubuntu 14
[07:48] <EriC^^> wow
[07:48] <bepolite> Hello
[07:48] <bepolite> I can't seem to run nodejs packages from  my terminal in ubuntu
[07:49] <bepolite> Any tips
[07:49] <EriC^^> PrincessHollyS: does windows boot normally?
[07:49] <EriC^^> PrincessHollyS: i had to modify the 20microsoft file in that dir so os-prober picked up the right .efi after i renamed it
[07:50] <PrincessHollyS> Windows boots fine. But that's because there was a stubloader at /EFI/Boot/Bootx64.efi that loaded into the toshiba stubloader which in turn loaded the windows loader...
[07:50] <EriC^^> how does windows xp boot with uefi?
[07:50] <PrincessHollyS> So I replaced that first one with shim and grub
[07:51] <EriC^^> i mean how's she booting it?
[07:51] <PrincessHollyS> Eric, it's a hybrid UEFI/Bios
[07:51] <EriC^^> oh
[07:52] <bepolite> This is the list of commands I've tried http://i.imgur.com/QzE2w0O.png
[08:08] <gr33n7007h> bepolite: node bower
[08:09] <bepolite> gr33n7007h, That givess no output too
[08:11] <bepolite> gr33n7007h, http://i.imgur.com/LilNWQP.png
[08:11] <gr33n7007h> bepolite: what does node -v
[08:11] <gr33n7007h> bepolite: type: node -v
[08:12] <bepolite> gr33n7007h, Nothing
[08:12] <bepolite> No output
[08:13] <gr33n7007h> where is the node binary?
[08:15] <bepolite> gr33n7007h, /usr/sbin/node
[08:16] <gr33n7007h> bepolite: is it executable?
[08:16] <gr33n7007h> ls -la /usr/sbin/node
[08:17] <somsip> bepolite: is /usr/sbin in your normal $PATH?
[08:17] <bepolite> yep gr33n7007h  http://i.imgur.com/29Veynf.png
[08:18] <gr33n7007h> bepolite: like somsip check if /usr/sbin is in your path too
[08:18] <bepolite> yes gr33n7007h Its there
[08:18] <bepolite> I used bower once
[08:18] <somsip> bepolite: a while since I installed nodejs, but no need for it to end up in sbin AFAIC
[08:18] <somsip> bepolite: how did you install it?
[08:19] <gr33n7007h> it should of installed to /usr/local/bin
[08:19] <somsip> bepolite: ax25-node is for amatuer radio node
[08:19] <bepolite> somsip, I used "apt-get install nodejs"
[08:19] <somsip> !info ax25-node | bepolite
[08:20] <somsip> bepolite: so the binary in /usr/sbin is nothing to do with nodejs
[08:20] <somsip> bepolite: and I found the official nodejs is quite out of date, though that was a while ago. There was a respected PPA for nodejs that might be worth looking at
[08:20] <somsip> !info nodejs
[08:21] <bepolite> somsip, I don't even know what PPA is
[08:21] <bepolite> !PPA
[08:21] <somsip> bepolite: was Chris Leaf but that's behind now too
[08:21] <somsip> *lea not leaf
[08:21] <DoverMo> bepolite: it's a third party repository
[08:21] <gr33n7007h> bepolite: just get from nodejs website
[08:22] <gr33n7007h> bepolite: they got the source code or the precompiled bins
[08:22] <somsip> bepolite: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/installing-node.js-via-package-manager
[08:23] <bepolite> I'm  currently compiling the source I got from the website
[08:23] <somsip> bepolite: purge whatever you installed before to avoid conflicts
[08:24] <gr33n7007h> bepolite: sudo apt-get remove --purge ax25-node
[08:39] <azizLIGHT> how do i know if my ppa stuff will work if i upgrade to 14.10 from 14.04

[09:05] <alfatau> cfhowlett: the larger partition is the home directory
[09:06] <cfhowlett> alfatau, /dev/sda3 = /home?
[09:06] <alfatau> cfhowlett: yes
[09:07] <alfatau> cfhowlett: /dev/sda1 = /boot
[09:08] <cfhowlett> alfatau, weird.  I don't know why your sequence is out of order.  I've no experience on LVM and shouldn't advise
[09:08] <alfatau> cfhowlett: /dev/sda5 = LVM --> 2 logical partitions ( / and swap)
[09:09] <cfhowlett> alfatau, ask your question again and include the pastes.  someone in channel will know more than I do.
[09:09] <alfatau> cfhowlett: ok,thanks
[09:10] <elishia> hi
[09:10] <alfatau> hello all. i've an advanced format hdd and i re-partitioned my disk. after repartitioning, i'm getting this message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10641152/. partition 3 seems instead starting at a phisical boundary, since 216784896*512/4096 gives an integer result. can you help me?
[09:10] <elishia> how r u
[09:10] <alfatau> furthermore, i created a logical partition as follows: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10641154/, containing an LVM partition. the target is to completely switch to LVM, given actual free space which is nearly 500GB. my question is: why the new partition has been numbered as #5 instead of #4?
[09:10] <elishia> anyone talk on this
[09:11] <Ben64> elishia: talking goes in #ubuntu-offtopic ... this is for support
[09:11] <elishia> i am new to the site
[09:11] <Guest11923> hi
[09:12] <hendrik_> hi
[09:12] <elishia> so how do i get normal chat part
[09:13] <Ben64> elishia: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:13] <Guest11923> i would like to know why the ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase works on a installed system and not from a live  CD. Thnax
[09:16] <alfatau> cfhowlett: ok, probably i solved the second issue myself: logical partition will always start from #5, as numbers 1-4 are reserved for primary partitions. however, i still need to solve the first one.
[09:17] <cfhowlett> alfatau, !  I did not KNOW that!  Thanks!
[09:19] <alfatau> the "proof" is here: sudo parted --> (parted) help align-check
[09:21] <fighterflight> i'm having issues config'ing a bridge network running an ubuntu vm
[09:23] <alfatau> cfhowlett: aaaahhh! i probably found the cause of the second issue too!!! sda2 is really not aligned! 1001470*512/4096 is not an integer!
[09:23] <alfatau> cfhowlett: however, fdisk -l points me to sda3...
[09:23] <azizLIGHT> how do i know if my ppa stuff will work if i upgrade to 14.10 from 14.04
[09:24] <Guest11923> i would like to know why the ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase works on a installed system and not from a live  CD. Thanx
[09:27] <celexi> you are supposed to use a key instead of the passphrase
[09:27] <celexi> oh
[09:27] <celexi> sorry didnt read well
[09:27] <celexi> nevermind lol
[09:29] <Guest11923> celexi   i mean ... when i-m on  my system i type the command  insert login passwd and  it spits  me the  bunch of letters and              n um b ers. ..
[09:29] <Guest11923> celexi   but when i-m on a live usb it can-t
[09:32] <celexi> on a live usb or other usb you are supposed to use sudo ecryptfs-recover-private
[09:32] <celexi> the passphrase itself you have to get from the real system
[09:32] <celexi> if oyu don't have it you lost the files tecnically
[09:34] <Guest11923> celexi  yes ... but the login passwd dosen-t work , i  have to select -no- and then insert the bunch of letters and numbers
[09:34] <celexi> you don't have the bunch of letters nor can recover them from the real installation ?
[09:34] <Guest11923> celexi  and i want to recover the wrapped-passphrase from Live
[09:34] <a9> hi could somebody help me with a raid1 array
[09:35] <Guest11923> celexi  sure...
[09:35] <celexi> Guest11923 unfortunately there is no way to if the password doesn't work and you don't have the passprase
[09:35] <a9> /proc/mdstat is showing active raid1 array, but when I do df -h, I only have / root filesystem mounted of 10GB! (should be 2TB)
[09:35] <celexi> only if you can boot the real os, login and run the command to get the key
[09:36] <Guest11923> celexi  i have the passphrase - 90jhg6555gffd and bla... but i recover it from my system
[09:36] <Guest11923> celexi  i would like to recover it from Live
[09:36] <celexi> write down the passphrase and then use that to unlock the filesystem on the live usb
[09:36] <celexi> you can't
[09:37] <Guest11923> celexi... interesting  .... why _
[09:37] <sonia> hi!
[09:38] <celexi> the live usb os doesn't have access to the keys that decrypt your home
[09:38] <serega527> hello. who can help me? how to open 1GB .txt file in terminal?
[09:38] <Guest11923> celexi... ohhhhh
[09:39] <serega527> i need find one line in it.
[09:39] <ido370> nano 1gb.txt :)
[09:39] <Stifler> lol!
[09:39] <ido370> JOE perhaps?
[09:39] <Guest11923> celexi... if you are sure about that i can  quit my research ... :P
[09:40] <serega527> what is JOE?
[09:40] <minimec> serega527: cat yourfile | grep yourline
[09:40] <celexi> yeah - you're free to quit the research :P
[09:40] <Guest11923> celexi... Thanx very much... all the best :P    bye
[09:40] <ido370> http://joe-editor.sourceforge.net/
[09:41] <ido370> apt-get install joe :)
[09:41] <serega527> thanks all, i went try this. have a good day.)))
[09:45] <elishia> where do i go for normal chat
[09:45] <elishia> ??
[09:46] <DoverMo> -social or -offtopic
[09:46] <EriC^^> elishia: /join #ubuntu-offtopic or /join #chat
[09:46] <elishia> what is the difference sorry i am new
[09:47] <cfhowlett> elishia, the topic here is ubuntu technical support.
[09:49] <FNDA> Hello
[09:50] <DoverMo> herro
[09:50] <Samurairm> hi
[09:55] <iyogeshjoshi> hi
[09:55] <DoverMo> hiiiiiii
[09:56] <iyogeshjoshi> is there a way to increase the range of my laptop's wifi's range
[09:57] <DoverMo> iyogeshjoshi: if you issue iwconfig, you should see a 'tx' followed by a '#db', this is your wifi's strength in db!
[09:57] <DoverMo> overclocking beyond the highest db is always dangerous
[09:57] <DoverMo> you'll fry the chip
[09:58] <DoverMo> try buy a 20db chip if you are having trouble, or upgrade the router
[09:58] <minimec> iyogeshjoshi: connect with 2.4GHz instead of 5GHz, disable the 'n' network and only connect with wireless 'g'.
[09:59] <DoverMo> or do that!
[09:59] <iyogeshjoshi> DoverMo, okay can you tell me what sort of danger?
[09:59] <DoverMo> iyogeshjoshi: the chip will fry, like bacon, if you OC it
[10:00] <iyogeshjoshi> and it is not showing 'tx=**' range for my inbuild broadcom driver but is showing for my other usb adapter
[10:01] <DoverMo> iyogeshjoshi: i see
[10:10] <elad> hello ubuntu users
[10:10] <nrdb> cfhowlett, I found the answer "do-release-upgrade -d"
[10:11] <cfhowlett> nrdb, um, no that is NOT the answer!
[10:11] <cfhowlett> nrdb, that will take you to the "d" development release, i.e. 15.04 BETA.  If that's what you want, go for it.  Otherwise, think gain
[10:11] <cfhowlett> *again*
[10:12] <FNDA> niko: Débanni moi STP
[10:13] <DoverMo> nrdb: you are a developer
[10:14] <nrdb> cfhowlett, opps!  it is done now.. I suppose I can reset it... and no I am not a developer
[10:17] <DoverMo> iyogeshjoshi: well what's it say
[10:18] <DoverMo> iyogeshjoshi: most chips don't go past 15. 20 is very high. if you can't manage a good connection on a 20 chip, the nit's the routers fault
[10:21] <gr33n7007h> DoverMo: mines 30db lol
[10:21] <DoverMo> gr33n7007h: nice
[10:21] <gr33n7007h> high powered alfa card :)
[10:22] <gr33n7007h> should really set it back a little
[10:28] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[10:30] <nrdb> cfhowlett, looks like I found something ... the file /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
[10:30] <cfhowlett> nrdb, paste?
[10:32] <nrdb> cfhowlett, http://pastebin.com/nLL3ynpZ
[10:33] <cfhowlett> nrdb, ubuntu paste please.  pastebin blocked in China
[10:34] <Rensouken> Good Evening
[10:34] <Ben64> nrdb: that pastebin explains it all
[10:34] <iyogeshjoshi> DoverMo, mine is 20 dBm, still
[10:34] <Ben64> nrdb: and unless you specifically need 14.10 for something, i'd recommend sticking with 14.04
[10:34] <minimec> nrdb: That file means, that your distupgrade settings are set to ONLY do release upgrades, if a new LTS release is available. So don't change that ... ;)
[10:34] <rejit> cfhowlett: try fpaste
[10:35] <cfhowlett> rejit, I can see fpaste just fine.
[10:35] <Rensouken> What are all you guys talking about?
[10:35] <cfhowlett> !topic | Rensouken
[10:35] <Rensouken> So this is about Ubuntu 14?
[10:36] <DoverMo> FOUTEEN
[10:36] <Rensouken> (-.-)
[10:36] <cfhowlett> Rensouken, as the topic says ... you DID read the topic, right?
[10:36] <Rensouken> Shoot, I want to hear
[10:36] <DoverMo> Rensouken: you did read the topic, the one about how this is a support channel for ubuntu
[10:37] <Rensouken> Indeed I did
[10:37] <Rensouken> But could you help me link my Cent OS server with my linux Mint setup over ssh
[10:37] <Rensouken> ?
[10:37] <Ben64> since none of that involves Ubuntu, no
[10:37] <DoverMo> Rensouken: and you read that you should ask your question and be patient and when the seniors say "read the manual" you will read the manual and be completely lost?
[10:38] <Rensouken> Well, that was my point
[10:38] <DoverMo> well openssh should be platform independant
[10:38] <Rensouken> I was under the impression
[10:38] <Rensouken> that Linux Mint was Ubuntu
[10:38] <Rensouken> I guess I was wrong
[10:39] <earthworks95> @Rensouken, May be ask at the #FSF or the #GNU channel
[10:39] <BluesKaj> !mint
[10:39] <DoverMo> linux mint uses ubuntu stuff, but it's technically not... .associated with it
[10:39] <Ben64> indeed. mint is based on Ubuntu but is not Ubuntu. Mint has their own support channel
[10:39] <Rensouken> Thank you. You have all been so helpfull
[10:40] <DoverMo> dont forget to read the manual
[10:40] <earthworks95> #FSF and #GNU are on the same channel as this one
[10:40] <earthworks95> oops same server
[10:40] <BluesKaj> DoverMo, are you trying to be funny ?
[10:46] <ZIPY> hi, im running ubuntu 14.04.2 in debian VirtualBox, but i cant change the screen resoultion. Does someone know how to fix this?
[10:47] <Guest22298> привет
[10:47] <Guest22298> cool
[10:48] <minimec> ZIPY: You probably want the 'guest additions' of Virtualbox... https://www.google.ch/search?hl=de&source=hp&biw=1051&bih=805&q=add%20guest%20additions%20ubuntu&oq=&aq=&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&gws_rd=ssl
[10:49] <ZIPY> minimec: i installed them already, do i have to configure it somehow?
[10:50] <minimec> ZIPY: If you installed them correclty, you should be able to put the guest OS in fullscreen-mode and do Copy/paste between host/guest OS. You can try that...
[10:58] <iyogeshjoshi> ZIPY, minimec, even I'm facing the same problem
[11:00] <iyogeshjoshi> evenminimec, even in full screen mode the screen size doesn;t changes
[11:00] <iyogeshjoshi> minimec*
[11:03] <minimec> iyogeshjoshi: So the guest additions are not installed correctly. I only have vmware macines on my computers, so I cannot check that for virtualbox images right now.
[11:03] <chiku> list
[11:07] <iyogeshjoshi> minimec, guest additions are installed
[11:08] <iyogeshjoshi> I think there is some problem with virtualbox itself
[11:09] <taliped> how can I switch off the auto dim feature on ubuntu phone?
[11:10] <popey> taliped: pull down the battery indicator
[11:10] <ZIPY> iyogeshjoshi: i am installing 14.04.2 again, maybe we should try installing guest installation via shell instead of virtualbox
[11:10] <taliped> popey: I can only see the brigthness calculator
[11:11] <popey> taliped: you don't see "Adjust brightness automatically"?
[11:11] <taliped> popey: this is off
[11:12] <popey> taliped: and it's not working?
[11:13] <tnkhanh> hi I have 2 versions of libreoffice installed, 1 default and 1 from git source
[11:13] <iyogeshjoshi> ZIPY, tell me if you succeed
[11:13] <tnkhanh> how to specifically run 1 of them
[11:15] <ZIPY> tnkhanh: the one from git source shouldnt have a link in your app menus
[11:16] <ZIPY> you can start it from file manager or terminal
[11:16] <tnkhanh> ZIPY: good idea
[11:16] <tnkhanh> I work mostly with terminal tho
[11:17] <tnkhanh> so to run the default one, just "libreoffice"
[11:17] <tnkhanh> and the one from source: enter the install directory and "./libreoffice"
[11:17] <taliped> popey: if I leave my ubuntuphone untouched for a couple of seconds the screen gets dim before getting dark, this is not useful, when watching videos
[11:18] <popey> taliped: known bug
[11:18] <ZIPY> tnkhanh: looks good if it exists, not sure if that is the correct starter
[11:18] <ZIPY> just try
[11:20] <popey> taliped: well, known to me, trying to find an actual bug for it
[11:20] <tnkhanh> ZIPY: I'm trying, guess that work
[11:20] <ZIPY> nice
[11:21] <taliped> popey: will do - thnx
[11:22] <ZIPY> tnkhanh: you can add a shortcut to unity, too. Not sure how tho, im not using it ^^
[11:29] <nadir> hey
[11:52] <minimec> ZIPY: I had to try it... ubuntu 15.04 up and running with guest additions on a ubuntu 14.04 host. After guest installation I "sudo apt-get install build-essential dkms linux-headers-generic", then reboot and install the guest additions.
[11:54] <ZIPY> minimec: ok, before you installed the dkms linux-headers-generics it didnt work too?
[11:56] <minimec> ZIPY: Well I know that I need 'dkms' the 'linux-headers' to compile the additions. So I did install them. You should get a build fail, if you don't install the kernel headers, I guess.
[11:57] <ZIPY> minimec: i only installed apt-get install build-essential module-assistant
[11:57] <ZIPY> then sudo m-a prepare
[11:58] <minimec> ZIPY: Well I can confirm that my 'workflow' to build the guest-additions is working. Guess you try that too...
[11:59] <ZIPY> minimec: iam trying out right now on the latest lts tho
[12:01] <ZIPY> have to wait, im dist upgrading first
[12:02] <ganjal06> :o
[12:04] <ZIPY> ehm
[12:04] <ZIPY> why is it updating so many packages and even kernel upgrades on a fresh installation that updated in the installation process already
[12:06] <ZIPY> oh crap, i forgot im not on debian
[12:06] <ZIPY> shouldnt have used dist-upgrade
[12:10] <BBLLCC> i need a ubuntu chronometer
[12:10] <BBLLCC> is there any?
[12:10] <BluesKaj> ZIPY, you merely brought all the kernels and packages up to date by dist-upgrade
[12:11] <YvesLevier> ZIPY: you mean Gnome Flashback?
[12:11] <ZIPY> BluesKaj: yes i wonder why it didnt do that on the installation wizzard tho
[12:11] <ZIPY> i checked download updates
[12:12] <ZIPY> ZIPY: huh?
[12:12] <ZIPY> YvesLevier: huh? ^
[12:12] <BluesKaj> you probly didn't choose the update during install option, ZIPY
[12:12] <ZIPY> i did
[12:12] <ZIPY> i always do also the 3rd parties
[12:14] <YvesLevier> ZIPY: whats your release?
[12:14] <Guest44949> Can I ask a favour? I'm on Ubuntu 14.10 and trying to use the pulse eight cec adapter and it's showing input on the debug but not initialising on kodi. Tried talking on #pulse-eight and emailing but not getting any help
[12:14] <BluesKaj> could be coincidence that a large upgrade became available right after your install finished, ZIPY
[12:14] <ZIPY> YvesLevier: debian 7 as host and 14.042 lts as guest
[12:15] <ZIPY> guess so ^
[12:15] <YvesLevier> Guest44949: You intalled the Beta Guest
[12:15] <Guest44949> Beta of kodi?
[12:15] <YvesLevier> ZIPY: Will listen then.  Looks interesting.
[12:15] <Guest44949> I did try with full release too before.
[12:16] <gregor_> hello i've been battling 5 hours to install nvidia drivers for GT730. drivers seem to install ok via xorg edgers ppa (i need 340 version) however i get blank screen on reboot

[12:17] <YvesLevier> Had to reinstall
[12:18] <YvesLevier> Last LTS is 14.04 - Right?
[12:18] <Guest44949> YvesLevier: is it a known issue with cec adapter with beta kodi?
[12:19] <ZIPY> 14.04.2
[12:19] <k1l> !away > Bl4ckD34Th
[12:19] <YvesLevier> Guest44949: Wont be able to help you right now.  Lemme see who can
[12:20] <Guest44949> Thanks just #pulse eight chat is like my bum
[12:22] <gregor_> kernel is 3.13.0-46 generic
[12:23] <gregor_> why is the card not recognised propperly?
[12:23] <gregor_> do i need to upgrade the kernel?
[12:28] <gregor_> hello?
[12:35] <serega527> hello!
[12:35] <serega527> how open 1 GB .txt file?
[12:36] <serega527> someone pls help me!
[12:37] <serega527> vim , nano dies not work
[12:37] <tnkhanh> hm maybe less?
[12:37] <tnkhanh> serega527: does less work?
[12:38] <serega527> sorry, vim open it! thk!
[12:39] <tnkhanh> serega527: nice. No wonder everyone uses vim
[12:39] <ZIPY> minimec: let me take a resume of what you have done, you installed sudo apt-get install build-essential dkms linux-headers-generic and then installed the guest addition via VirtualBox -> Devices -> install guest additions right?
[12:40] <minimec> serega527: Again... I would try to find 'something' (eg yourterm) in the file, instead of opening it... "cat yourfile | grep 'something'"
[12:41] <serega527> minimec, all nice. i opened them.
[12:43] <ZIPY> minimec: with 15.04 u meant 14.04?
[12:43] <minimec> ZIPY: "Inset Guest Additions CD image...", then cd to that directory and 'sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run'. I cancelled the 'Autorun PopUp"
[12:44] <serega527> minimec, thanks for good idea.
[12:44] <ZIPY> minimec: what name does your iso has (version)
[12:44] <minimec> ZIPY: I have a 15.04 guest on a 14.04 host, using
[12:44] <ZIPY> isnt that a beta?
[12:44] <minimec> ZIPY: VBOX 4.3.26_98988
[12:44] <newUbun_usr> if swapon -s gives me nothing, does that mean i have no swap file/partition?
[12:45] <minimec> ZIPY: the *iso was an old 15.04 daily build, which I just updated after installation.
[12:45] <MonkeyDust> ZIPY  i similar issues too with the same setup
[12:45] <MonkeyDust> have*
[12:47] <ZIPY> minimec: hmm ok since im using debian as guest, i have a different iso so i cant compare
[12:47] <ZIPY> minimec: -guest+host
[12:48] <ZIPY> minimec: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso i might try this on my guest
[12:49] <minimec> ZIPY: As I use the Vbox version form the Vbox homepage, I cannot use the debs included in Ubuntu.
[12:49] <MonkeyDust> ZIPY  mind: i use vmware
[12:49] <EriC^^> ZIPY: what are you trying to do?
[12:49] <ZIPY> im trying to get guest additions working on ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS vm using Debian wheezy as host
[12:50] <EriC^^> ZIPY: did you try clicking devices > insert guest additions cd ?
[12:51] <ZIPY> yes it is installed, if i try again it even says removing previous installation first
[12:51] <EriC^^> did you reboot the machine?
[12:51] <ZIPY> yes
[12:51] <EriC^^> ok what are you trying to do after that?
[12:51] <EriC^^> share a dir?
[12:51] <ZIPY> no, i want to change the resolution since im stuck to 640 :/
[12:52] <EriC^^> oh
[12:52] <EriC^^> to what?
[12:52] <ZIPY> 640x480 resoultion
[12:52] <EriC^^> no i mean to what resolution?
[12:52] <ZIPY> 1024 i think
[12:52] <EriC^^> 1024x768 ?
[12:53] <ZIPY> ye or 800x600, not sure yet
[12:53] <EriC^^> ZIPY: type sudo nano /etc/default/grub
[12:53] <EriC^^> and add in the kernel line after quiet splash vga=792
[12:53] <EriC^^> http://pierre.baudu.in/other/grub.vga.modes.html
[12:54] <EriC^^> if you ever need the codes you'll find them in that website
[12:54] <ZIPY> yes, that could work but i think copy paste between host and guest was nice too
[12:54] <EriC^^> yeah that would be cool
[12:55] <ZIPY> i try to get the guest additions to work first, if it still wont work i give it a try to alter grub
[12:56] <Depalaciolemos> bom dia!
[12:56] <EriC^^> ok, if you do alter grub, make sure grub_gfx_payload_linux ( something like that ) is = keep
[12:57] <Depalaciolemos> seguindo a sugestão de alguns ja atualizei para a versão 14.04 lst
[12:57] <EriC^^> ZIPY: then update-grub
[12:57] <EriC^^> ZIPY: i've tried a bit to get the copy and paste to work but never got it working, i didn't try that much though, let me know if you get it working
[12:57] <ZIPY> ok
[12:58] <ZIPY> i will try the guest additions from the guests repositorys now
[12:58] <EriC^^> ok
[13:16] <TandyUK> ok how do i add drivers to an initrd image...
[13:16] <mementomori> !kubuntu
[13:16] <mementomori> !kde
[13:16] <TandyUK> just upgraded from 12.x to 14.x and the new kernel initrd doesnt include my highpoint drivers
[13:23] <araaragot> Greetings. I would like to learn the command line well in Linux, what is the best tutorial on that?
[13:28] <SchrodingersScat> araaragot: #bash has some nice wiki's like the wooledge bash wiki.
[13:28] <araaragot> Ok, do you think Installing Arch Linux will help me learn Linux alot faster?
[13:29] <SchrodingersScat> no idea
[13:29] <araaragot> Thank you, Shrodinger.
[13:29] <gloikaper>  not if you give up on it because of the difficulty :p
[13:30] <n00b_dust> @araargot: it does seem to help learn faster for most people. might not be the case for everyone though
[13:30] <ZIPY> EriC^^, minimec copy paste is working now with the guest addiditons from the VM's repository
[13:30] <ZIPY> but still cant change the resoulution
[13:30] <Ullarah> araaragot, you can also use this to learn more about BASH, http://www.tutorialspoint.com/execute_bash_online.php
[13:30] <araaragot> Ok, is there a video tutorial on how to begin with Arch Linus?
[13:30] <araaragot> *Linux
[13:30] <Ullarah> #archlinux
[13:31] <Ullarah> I wouldn't use arch as a starting point.
[13:32] <Ullarah> araaragot, any of these would be a good starting point, http://distrowatch.com/search.php?category=Beginners
[13:32] <araaragot> Probably, but I need to accelerate my learning curve. Staying on ubuntu is easy.
[13:32] <Ullarah> araaragot, if you want a steep learning curve, then try Alpine Linux :)
[13:32] <nightwalkerkg> Is there a way to change the look of the system tray icons ?
[13:33] <nightwalkerkg> Skype for some reason looks larger then sound, network, etc.
[13:33] <tdrusk> How can I get data from /dev/hidrawX and send it to stdin
[13:33] <araaragot> Thank you for your answers. I shall think on it and find the best solution for me.
[13:45] <kramer3d>  i just installed 14.04 and it seems all the updates are applied, when i plug in my second monitor, everything goes black
[13:46] <kramer3d> mathFreak, i have nvidia
[13:47] <kramer3d> ive selected it to use the nvidia drivers
[13:47] <kramer3d> but its still saying kernel driver in use: nouveau
[13:48] <Quantos> Ah, so you need to remove nouveau and install nVidia driver kramer3d
[13:49] <Quantos> Or actually, just install Gnome, no sense removing Unity and causing other problems
[13:49] <kramer3d> Quantos, how do i install gnome
[13:49] <Quantos> Sorry, I got confused there, just woke up
[13:50] <Quantos> Let me get you a  link, I can't screw that up
[13:50]  * kramer3d gives Quantos a cup of coffe with a shot of whiskey in it
[13:50] <Quantos> :D Thanks
[13:51] <mikhael_k33hl> Hello, can anyone help me, my laptop's HDMI stopped working. Confirmed it's not the external monitor that is not functioning.
[13:51] <Gregor3000> failed to initialise NVIDIA GPU at PCI... Screens ofund but none have a usable configuraiton Fatal server error No screens found ---- all thi sresults in black screen
[13:51] <Gregor3000> nvidia GT 730
[13:51] <Quantos> Try this one kramer3d https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[13:51] <Kira9204> how does installing gnome solve the fact that his using noveau? The built in hardware drivers app should automise the switch...
[13:51] <Quantos> It doesn't, I'm just waking up
[13:51] <kramer3d> lol
[13:51] <Quantos> I got him a link instead
[13:52] <Quantos> Thanks for the correction though Kira9204
[13:52] <Gregor3000> the applicaitons is not doing it's work, i tried with newer drivers from xorg edgers PPA, same thing - blank screen
[13:52] <Quantos> I appreciate it
[13:53] <Gregor3000> any ideas why the GPU wouldn't get initialised?
[13:53] <Gregor3000> FOSS drivers are bad - give poor resolution+slow. edgers version gave better resolution but still bad
[13:54] <Gregor3000> and all this talk how one should get nvidia as their support is better. well i see now how that is not true.
[13:54] <Gregor3000> been at this for 7 hours now. in iwndows i woudl already be playing but here i still need to get it to initialize.
[13:54] <Gregor3000> so anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?
[13:54] <mathFreak> what your graphics card
[13:55] <MonkeyDust> Gregor3000  contact nvidia and demand better linux support
[13:55] <Gregor3000> i read a post on forums and just installing the 340 driver from PPA initilised the card fine
[13:55] <Gregor3000> GT 730
[13:55] <SchrodingersScat> send a letter every day
[13:56] <Gregor3000> i dont' think it's nvidia issue i think it'+s the stupid way that (K)ubuntu does it. i mean if you can't load the drivers then fall back to other one or load some vesa or drop to command line
[13:57] <Gregor3000> and from what i read on internet with some posts form users with simialr issue they were told that KMS is getting initialised when it shoulnd't
[13:57] <Gregor3000> with proprietary drivers
[13:58] <Kira9204> GeertJohan: does the same thing happen on regular ubuntu?
[13:58] <Kira9204> Gregor3000:
[13:58] <Gregor3000> it's difficult to even get to command line. to see what is going wrong.
[13:59] <Gregor3000> i've removed all xorg.conf files in case they were messign up soemthing
[13:59] <mathFreak> Gregor300 get this https://kshadeslayer.wordpress.com/2014/02/09/new-driver-manager-for-kubuntu/ kubuntu driver manager
[14:01] <Kira9204> well, dmesg should give you some idicication of what went wrong( or the log files). This MIGHT be relevant but on Elementary OS i got dumped to CLI when i installed the the driver thru Hardware drivers, but "startx" got me back to desktoo
[14:03] <Kira9204> mathFreak: thats a neat tool, i wonder when ubuntu gets the same
[14:03] <Gregor3000> xorg.0.log give me that it failed to initialise and screens nto recognised and whatnot. i will check the demsg but i did chekc it befor eand haven't seen anyhting unusual
[14:04] <rotten777> 7
[14:06] <mikhael_k33hl> Do anyone know how to fix if your HDMI for external monitor stops working? I'm using Ubuntu 14.04
[14:06] <anguslee> a
[14:09] <Kira9204> Gregor3000: do you have dual GPUs (switchable grapichs) in your laptop?
[14:10] <Gregor3000> no it's a desktop single GPU. it does have two ports AGP and PCie, but AGP is empty and BIOS has set PCIe as primary display
[14:10] <losh> hi, has anyone here got UEFI netboot installation working ?  I'm stuck and need some help figuring out where it's not working.
[14:11] <EriC^^> losh: what exactly?
[14:13] <losh> EriC^^: I have the nic boot get an address from DHCP, then download NBP files, then an error about alloc magic is broken and "you need to load the kernel first" message
[14:13] <EriC^^> ok, sorry no idea
[14:15] <losh> EriC^^ thanks all the same.
[14:19] <H3ruS> \o hi
[14:19] <H3ruS> mathFreak: \o
[14:19] <Kira9204> Gregor3000: im afraid that you best bed is contacting nVidia
[14:19] <Kira9204> *bet
[14:20] <Kira9204> use their forums/facebook if you dobt want to call
[14:21] <mikhael_k33hl> Ubuntu 14.04, my HDMI port for an external monitor suddenly stopped working, does anyone know the fix for this one?
[14:22] <Gregor3000> the part i do not udenrstant is how come others had a smooth ride mostly with this card. just install the version 340 of the drivers and it seem to have worked for them
[14:22] <losh> EriC^^ would you happen to know of anywhere else I could ask for help with my problem?
[14:23] <EriC^^> losh: nope
[14:24] <thothom> join #debian-devel-fr
[14:26] <EriC^^> losh: have you seen this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot
[14:26] <losh> EriC^^: yip,  that's what I've been following.
[14:26] <EriC^^> losh: are you getting step 2 right? 2. Marvel as the Ubuntu installer starts over the net.

[14:29] <sxrvy> Is there another tech support channel besides #ubuntu-helpteam?
[14:29] <sxrvy> I'm about to throw my stupid laptop out the god damn windows
[14:30] <sxrvy> sorry about the GD :X
[14:30] <lasko> !ask | sxrvy
[14:30] <MonkeyDust> sxrvy  in my direction, if you don't mind
[14:30] <sxrvy> sorry.
[14:30] <thothom> hello all ! I'm hitting a wall and it hurts. I'm trying to install Ubuntu, live usb with persistence and Luks encryption. Bootable on pc and mac. I manage to get a live Usb bootable and persistent as i made some tweak with casper-rw. But impossible to encrypt the labeled casper-rw. I really need a guru. Is there a way to do that properlly, any documentation, tuts,..? Thanks a lot in advance !
[14:30] <sxrvy> So I'm trying to dual boot with windows 8.1
[14:31] <antivirtel> hello all! I have a problem, that I can't login to my Ubuntu 14.04.2 machine, since it will automatically log me out (immediately)... what can I do?
[14:31] <sxrvy> I've disabled fastboot, uefi, etc. but for some reason it still won't work
[14:31] <sxrvy> When it goes to load the live DVD it instead brings me to a windows repair screen
[14:31] <sxrvy> Has anyone encountered that before?
[14:31] <EriC^^> antivirtel: press ctrl+alt+f1, login then type ls -l ~/.Xauthority , check who the owner is and press alt+f7 to get back to the gui and paste here
[14:32] <MonkeyDust> antivirtel  use ctral-alt f1 and work from there... make sure no partiontion is 100% full
[14:32] <MonkeyDust> typos*
[14:33] <EriC^^> sxrvy: why are you disabling uefi?
[14:33] <sxrvy> MonkeyDust do you have any idea of what else I can try? I've been at this for two days
[14:33] <EriC^^> sxrvy: if you want to dual boot you need to install ubuntu in uefi mode
[14:33] <sxrvy> I wuld normally use a thumb drive but I seem to have lost them all so a DVD it is
[14:33] <MonkeyDust> sxrvy  also follow EriC^^ 's advice
[14:33] <MonkeyDust> or suggestion, rather
[14:33] <sxrvy> EriC^^, I keep reading about disabling uefi
[14:33] <sxrvy> The other thing is that I tried to install in UEFI mode
[14:33] <sxrvy> With the same results..
[14:34] <EriC^^> sxrvy: you need to check your bios and have the usb boot before the hdd
[14:34] <sxrvy> I'm loading from a DVD so I set the DVD to load before the HDD
[14:34] <EriC^^> sxrvy: also if you can press esc and get a boot options menu, it might show uefi usb as a boot option
[14:34] <EriC^^> *boot dvd
[14:34] <sxrvy> i've done this a million times and I've never experienced this before :\
[14:35] <EriC^^> try pressing esc and choosing boot options
[14:35] <EriC^^> is it an hp laptop?
[14:35] <sxrvy> ubuntu already has the UEFI stuff installed in the live ISO right?
[14:35] <sxrvy> It's an ASUS
[14:35] <EriC^^> yeah
[14:35] <sxrvy> Which from what I've read is just a huge PITA
[14:36] <thothom> any help guys?
[14:36] <TandyUK> ok help... my freshly uopdated to 14.04 system doesnt have raid drivers.. im trying to follow the guide here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RocketRaid#Updated_and_simplified_procedure_for_Ubuntu_13.04_or_later
[14:36] <antivirtel> EriC^^ It's me with 777, and I've seen it on google, that it could make it, but it didn't help
[14:36] <TandyUK> but i can only boot into my old kernel (3.2.0.77), as the new one (3.13.x) wont see my root partition
[14:36] <sxrvy> I guess I'll just keep pushing buttons and smashing my head against things until it just magically works
[14:36] <TandyUK> from the 3.2.0.77 kernel, how can i build this module for the new kernel?
[14:36] <EriC^^> antivirtel: do other users work?
[14:36] <antivirtel> MonkeyDust there is 53GB free.
[14:36] <sxrvy> Thanks for what help you can offer guys
[14:37] <sxrvy> take it easy
[14:37] <antivirtel> EriC^^ the guest is not, but I can make an other user if any
[14:37] <EriC^^> the guest account isn't working?
[14:37] <antivirtel> no, it does the same I assume
[14:37] <EriC^^> did you try it?
[14:38] <thothom> could someone just confirm me that you can read me please?
[14:38] <cfhowlett> !test | thothom,
[14:38] <TandyUK> no, noone here can read
[14:38] <thothom> thanks
[14:38] <thothom> :)
[14:39] <anarx> hello guys - before I ask in the ubuntu forums I wanted to ask here
[14:39] <lasko> !ask | anarx
[14:39] <nishi_> hi
[14:40] <anarx> I installed lubuntu on a macbook 5,2 - deleted osx
[14:40] <lasko> nishi_: Hello
[14:40] <anarx> so I got this strange problem where only one core of my core2duo is active/found
[14:41] <thothom> Trying again :)    I'm trying to install Ubuntu, live usb with persistence and Luks encryption. Bootable on pc and mac. I manage to get a live Usb bootable and persistent as i made some tweak with casper-rw. But impossible to encrypt the labeled casper-rw. I really need a guru. Is there a way to do that properly, any documentation, tuts,..? Thanks a lot in advance !
[14:41] <antivirtel> EriC^^ guest acc. works now - but before it was stuck
[14:41] <anarx> I googled a lot yesterday and there were hints that something might be wrong with GRUB2 (boot parameters)
[14:41] <nishi_> i want  to increase the font size of boot loader grub plz help me
[14:41] <minimec> lasko: Can you once run 'top' in a terminal and then press the '1' key. Some changes?
[14:42] <thothom> i did not find the way to do that yet. Google is quite muted on it...
[14:42] <EriC^^> antivirtel: ok, does your account work?
[14:42] <antivirtel> nope
[14:42] <minimec> anarx: Can you once run 'top' in a terminal and then press the '1' key. Some changes?
[14:42] <EriC^^> antivirtel: type sudo find /home/<your user> ! -user <your user>
[14:42] <ser_> \jon
[14:42] <lasko> nishi_: I believe the command you are looking for is grub-mkfont   -- look at the man pages.
[14:43] <antivirtel> EriC^^ it is just .w3m/history
[14:43] <thothom> "Help i need somebody, help i really need someone" The Beatles.
[14:43] <anarx> minimec - yes -  I can press 1 in top but what exactly does that show me? :P sry, kinda new to linux
[14:44] <cfhowlett> thothom, stop that.  this is ubuntu support.  stay on topic or find a different channel to play in.  thanks.
[14:44] <cfhowlett> !guidelines | thothom
[14:44] <EriC^^> antivirtel: did you add anything to your ~/.profile or something before it happened?
[14:45] <TandyUK> ok help... my freshly uopdated to 14.04 system doesnt have raid drivers.. im trying to follow the guide here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RocketRaid#Updated_and_simplified_procedure_for_Ubuntu_13.04_or_later
[14:45] <minimec> anarx: Well it should show you all Cpu cores, not only one line for all Cpu(s).
[14:45] <antivirtel> not manually - just the unattended-upgrades are enabled
[14:45] <TandyUK> from the (Working) 3.2.0.77 kernel, how can i build this module for the new (3.13.x) kernel?
[14:45] <nishi_> i want known which file decide the grub font size
[14:45] <minimec> anarx: Your system probably uses all cores, but is only showing you one.
[14:46] <anarx> are u sure? because I have a kernel panic while starting ubuntu
[14:46] <TandyUK> anarx: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[14:47] <anarx> shows me: CPU cores : 1 @ TandyUK
[14:47] <Quantos> Nishi, have you tried using the GRUB Configuration tool
[14:47] <minimec> anarx: Ok. 'Kernel Panic' is not so good... Would you be able to use a different version of Ubuntu on a USB stick to verify, whether it is a kernel problem? Like using ubuntu 12.04 instead of 14.04 for example?
[14:47] <Quantos> It should let you change the font Nishi
[14:48]  * zburns_away is now away - Reason : Auto-Away (Away from Keyboard for 30 minutes)
[14:48] <antivirtel> EriC^^ not manually - just the unattended-upgrades are enabled
[14:48] <Quantos> Nishi http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1664134
[14:48] <TandyUK> anarx: you mean it lists only "processor       : 0"
[14:48] <anarx> yes
[14:48] <anarx> TandyUK
[14:48] <antivirtel> EriC^^ maybe there has happened something, but I was upgraded the system so far, it is ok now...
[14:49] <EriC^^> antivirtel: ok, it worked?
[14:49] <nishi_> yes and i can edit my grub.cfg but i can't edit the font size and style
[14:49] <lasko> nishi_: /etc/default/grub  and set the GRUB_FONT= line to whatever you want.
[14:50] <Quantos> Nishi, have you tried the GRUB Configuration tool?
[14:50] <Quantos> Or did you just edit it in Text Editor?
[14:50] <anarx> here is my dmesg | grep CPU ..... http://pastebin.com/gyhmGzYL
[14:51] <lasko> nishi_: Honestly though -- you should be setting it with the grub-mkfont command.
[14:51] <antivirtel> what do you mean EriC^^ ? upgrades were ok...
[14:52] <anarx> minimec I can try that yes - also I heard there is no problem on archlinux (no advertising, just found that info @ the internet)
[14:52] <antivirtel> EriC^^ what log do I need to look? there are plenty of them
[14:52] <nishi_> Quantos , no
[14:53] <wladimir_> Bom dia -  portas usb não funcionam no meu ubuntu 14.04 - not acer 5920 - help
[14:53] <EriC^^> antivirtel: oh ok
[14:53] <Quantos> Nishi, I gave you a choice, don't answer no, I need to know what the no is too
[14:54] <EriC^^> antivirtel: you can try to remove .config and other dirs to see which is the problem
[14:54] <mikhael_k33hl> Does anyone know how to fix when a laptop's HDMI port stops working?
[14:54] <EriC^^> i mean renaming not removing
[14:54] <EriC^^> antivirtel: ^
[14:54] <TandyUK> anyone knows how to cross compile kernel modules??
[14:54] <EriC^^> mv ~/.config ~/.config.old
[14:54] <OerHeks> mikhael_k33hl, check the FN + ext monitor key
[14:55] <antivirtel> EriC^^ - ok, but I've just created a new user, and the login works for it...
[14:55] <EriC^^> antivirtel: yes that's great, it means it's probably a config issue
[14:55] <lotuspsychje> !br | wladimir_
[14:56] <EriC^^> .config .cache .gconf .compiz it could be any one of those
[14:56] <mikhael_k33hl> OerHeks: No, it doesn't have anything like that
[14:56] <lotuspsychje> !kernel | TandyUK
[14:56] <EriC^^> antivirtel: ^
[14:56] <antivirtel> EriC^^ .config didn't help, trying others
[14:56] <TandyUK> lotuspsychje: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RocketRaid#Updated_and_simplified_procedure_for_Ubuntu_13.04_or_later
[14:56] <minimec> anarx: And what kind of kernel is that? 3.16.0-31-generic? if that is 14.10, I would rather use 14.04, because 14.10 is 'end of live' in june 2015.
[14:56] <supermelody90> hl
[14:57] <TandyUK> thats what im trying to do, but i can only boot 3.2.0.77, not the 3.13.x kernel i need to build the module for
[14:57] <lotuspsychje> TandyUK: are you on 13.04 also?
[14:57] <TandyUK> no im on 14.04
[14:57] <TandyUK> freshly updated, but cant boot into the new kernel because its missing my raid drivers
[14:58] <TandyUK> so from my working 3.2.0.77 kernel, i need to build just the rr62x module for the new 3.13.x kernel
[14:58] <lotuspsychje> !raid | TandyUK maybe some info here
[14:58] <anarx> minimec, it is Ubuntu 3.16.0-31.43-generic 3.16.7-ckt5
[14:58] <anarx>  - did you read my pastebin (kernel panic)?
[14:58] <TandyUK> lotuspsychje i know exactly what i need to do, no point giving me random links
[14:59] <TandyUK> what i dont know is HOW to do what i need to do
[14:59] <antivirtel> EriC^^ no success
[14:59] <EriC^^> antivirtel: is there anything in your .profile ? or .bashrc ?
[14:59] <EriC^^> type tail .profile
[14:59] <EriC^^> if there's a "." on a single line it won't work
[15:00] <EriC^^> also is your shell set correctly? type tail /etc/passwd
[15:00] <TandyUK> the problem is that wiki page tells you how to build the module for youe _CURRENT_ kernel, but not for another kernel version you have on the system
[15:00] <ZIPY> EriC^^, copy paste is working now with the guest addiditons from the VM's repository
[15:00] <antivirtel> EriC^^ damn it, it was the .profile -.-"
[15:00] <antivirtel> as I think, I didn't add anything there
[15:01] <EriC^^> ZIPY: cool
[15:01] <antivirtel> thank you very much!
[15:01] <ZIPY> EriC^^: but still cant change the resoultion ^^
[15:01] <EriC^^> antivirtel: great, no problem!
[15:01] <EriC^^> ZIPY: hehe
[15:01] <minimec> anarx: I see now. 3.16.0 comes with 14.10 or with the linux-image-generic-lts-utopic. Yes I did check that 'panic' paste, and if you are using 14.10 I would do a step back to 14.04 LTS.
[15:02] <ZIPY> EriC^^: u  mentioned changing the resoultion in grub, but doesnt it only affect the bootscreen? i think it wont work in xorg after DE is started
[15:02] <EriC^^> ZIPY: it will, you have to set the gfx_payload_linux to keep
[15:02] <EriC^^> so it passes it to the kernel
[15:02] <antivirtel> :) thx again, bye
[15:02] <anarx> ok - but isn't 14.10 the newest one? or is that not the way it's working in the‌ linux world? ;)
[15:03] <lasko> anarx: Newest does not mean stable.
[15:03] <krasnaya> where can i see the list of all the “exclamation mark” commands?
[15:03] <EriC^^> krasnaya: man history
[15:04] <krasnaya> in irc i mean
[15:04] <EriC^^> oh
[15:04] <lasko> EriC^^: I think hes referring to ubottu
[15:04] <EriC^^> :D
[15:04] <k1l_> anarx: 14.10 is the most recent ubuntu release. but do you want to upgrade every 6 months?
[15:04] <EriC^^> !factoid
[15:04] <minimec> anarx: 14.10 is the 'newest' one until 15.04 comes next month, but both of them only have a 9 month life span, as they are transitional releases until the next 16.04 LTS release.
[15:05] <EriC^^> krasnaya: ^
[15:05] <krasnaya> thanks
[15:05] <krasnaya> !factoid
[15:05] <anarx> ah I see - so I could try 14.04 and w8 for 16.04 LTS ?
[15:05] <minimec> anarx: If you want a stable installation that is 'good' for some time now, I would use 14.04.
[15:06] <minimec> anarx: http://www.ubuntu.com/info/release-end-of-life
[15:06] <wladimir_> ok - obrigado
[15:06] <mfarhan> test
[15:07] <nishi_> hi friend i need list hacking software
[15:07] <mikhael_k33hl> Ubuntu 14.4, my HDMI port suddenyl stopped working for my external monitor
[15:07] <k1l_> !warez | nishi_
[15:07] <anarx> --- ah that's how it works / ty ! so one last question then
[15:08] <har00n> can anynone please tell me why my metasploit connection timed out
[15:08] <nishi_> ok
[15:08] <lotuspsychje> har00n: this is an ubuntu support channel, not metasploit pentesting
[15:08] <anarx> As I said I deleted osx completly from the macbook 5,2 ... for installing ubuntu I installed rEFInd and it let me install ubuntu
[15:09] <anarx> so, now there is GRUB2 boot manager that loads my ubuntu
[15:09] <anarx> do I have to install rEFInd again? or can I boot from cd/usb with grub ?
[15:13] <kk_drop> I have pptp vpn setup on the server, there are several websites on docker on various ports running
[15:13] <mfarhan> how do i change my iptables?
[15:13] <kk_drop> I wanted to restrict access only to vpn network
[15:13] <kk_drop> so I wanted to do it with iptables and added those rules: http://pastebin.com/n1jUywX3
[15:14] <dewdrop> Hi is there an alternative to notepad++ that can edit text files over SSH?
[15:14] <minimec> anarx: I do not know how a mac is booting, sorry. On IBM/intel compatible machines, the BIOS is handling the boot device. I mean your grub is installed on the booted Harddrive, but for installation you want the BIOS to boot your USB stick as bootable harddrive.
[15:14] <teward> mfarhan: read the `iptables` manpage - you have to remove rules and add new ones to replace them if you want to change a rule
[15:14] <kk_drop> I was connected to the vpn, but when typed third command (from pastebin) I had no more access via ssh
[15:14] <k1l_> dewdrop: nano on ssh login?
[15:14] <anarx> ok, ty I try my best :P
[15:15] <k1l_> dewdrop: or use ssh -X
[15:15] <marcelo_> dewdrop, as far as I know, you could use sublime text or Atom, they have plugins to edit files remotely
[15:15] <dewdrop> k1l_: I am looking for more like a GUI editor like NPP that I can use without using command line.
[15:16] <dewdrop> I see I will look into thos plugins then
[15:16] <MoPac> Hello. I'm wondering about scrollbar attributes for certain applications. I always go into /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc to colorize the scrollbar and make it wider. But these settings do not seem to affect certain applications like gedit and the default terminal. Where do I need to look for those?
[15:16] <Chipinfeb> Hi! Is there a input method completing the word? such as I type 'app' and it display 'apple, apply, application etc.'
[15:16] <k1l_> dewdrop: if you can use ssh on that machine you could start any program that loads the windows on your machine with "ssh -x"
[15:16] <dewdrop> But  what I am looking for is the ease of listing files quickly like notepad++ in a sidebar and allowing us to edit and save quickly through GUI
[15:16] <nishi_> in our institute i connected wifi to my ubuntu but i can not access internet but in window i can access internet how to slove it
[15:16] <SchrodingersScat> dewdrop: you could also use sshfs to network mount it, then use whatever you like to text edit.
[15:17] <dewdrop> k1l_: I didn't getthe meaning of what you said the first time, now I understand, I will try it now
[15:17] <anarx> cu guys - ty for help and wish me luck ;)
[15:17] <docmur> If I have an old hard drive which had an active mysql install on it, where would it store the back up of it's databases, I want to recover one of them
[15:18] <marcelo_> dewdrop, I think the sublimetext plugin does that, take a look: http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/sftp
[15:18] <Chipinfeb>  Hi! Is there a input method completing the word? such as I type 'app' and it display 'apple, apply, application etc.'
[15:19] <SchrodingersScat> !tab | Chipinfeb
[15:20] <ignacio> Schrodinger remember me another thing
[15:20] <ignacio> lawl
[15:22] <Chipinfeb> I know that, but I want to use it on English input
[15:22] <k1l_> Chipinfeb: depends on the program you use
[15:23] <TandyUK> ok, so i found a ppa with the dkms modules, have now booted into 14.04's 3.13.0-46 kernel, and now i cant start X, this is the error it gives me when running startx: /usr/bin/X: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpciaccess.so.0: invalid ELF header
[15:23] <flipsidecreation> hello, I have an odd problem.  just got a Logitech Zonetouch T400 mouse and the middle click seems to be emulating the Windows Logo Key
[15:23] <flipsidecreation> other mice work fine, just this one does that
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> TandyUK: contact the PPA maintainer
[15:24] <TandyUK> that module has nothing to do with the ppa
[15:24] <TandyUK> the ppa is for the rocketraid drives
[15:24] <Chipinfeb> Yes, I just use ibus... I can't found the tick for this function...
[15:25] <TandyUK> how can i force a reinstall of libpciaccess?
[15:25] <k1l_> TandyUK: dont run startx. start the lightdm
[15:25] <Chipinfeb> just like google input in android.
[15:25] <TandyUK> k1l_: ok how?
[15:25] <k1l_> TandyUK: sudo service lightdm start

[15:27] <IG72> Hello, nvidia-settings is not using the xorg.conf I saved. Can anyone think of a reason for this? I'm using 14.04
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> TandyUK: sudo apt-get --reinstall install libpciaccess0
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> IG72: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue
[15:29] <minimec> TandyUK: If you have pastebinit installed, do 'cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit', so we could check for errors...
[15:29] <IG72> ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS \n \l
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> minimec: pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log    will also work.

[15:30] <ActionParsnip> IG72: if you run "gksudo nvidia-settings"  is it better?
[15:30] <TandyUK> minimec: just rebooting
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> !away > zburns_away
[15:32] <IG72> ActionParsnip: Not sure I used sudo gksudo is not installed, I will try.
[15:34] <IG72> Is there much difference in using gksu instead of sudo?
[15:34] <SchrodingersScat> !gksu | IG72
[15:35] <kk_drop> I tried to various solutions from the web, but cannot do this: allow to connect to port 80 and 443 (so acces websites on server) only from certain IP address.
[15:37] <IG72> I see thanks ubottu
[15:39]  * stecky is back (gone 00:13:36)

[15:42] <stecky> Can somebody help me with my drivers, when I select my proprietary driver in additional drivers and press apply it just goes back to the open source driver. https://youtu.be/hXg0kmsikro?t=14s
[15:43] <mikhael_k33hl> Does anyone know how to fix when your HDMI port suddenly stops working?
[15:43] <k1l_> stecky: "sudo apt-get update&&sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates"
[15:43] <MoPac> I have a question about how launcher icon double-clicks invoke Scale in multi-viewport setups. At the moment, the behavior I see is that a double click gives you a Scale spread of all windows of that program group, but only if there are multiple windows of that program in the current viewport, and it only includes windows from that viewport. (cont...)
[15:44] <k1l_> stecky: put all the output then into a pastebin
[15:45] <MoPac> (...cont) Otherwise, it either takes you to a viewport where there is a window for that program (if there are none in the current one), or, if there is one such window in the current viewport, it just raises it, and further clicks do nothing.  I'd love to set the behavior so that a double click gives a scale presentation of *every* window for that program, regardless of the viewport. Possible?
[15:45] <stecky> k1l_ Where do I get the output?
[15:47] <k1l_> stecky: in the terminal where you put that command into
[15:48] <stecky> k1l_, i'm not using the terminal, im using the additional driver tab in software & updates
[15:48] <k1l_> stecky: and as you can see you dont know what is going on there. so i suggest you put my named command into the terminal and get an output we can work with
[15:49] <natorious1990> Hello, I have a problem similar to that asked here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/583285/lubuntu-14-10-wont-update-or-shutdown  How do I figure out what the offending package is, and where to post a bug report?
[15:49] <k1l_> ok, or just leave *sigh*
[15:53] <zetheroo> For a while now I have been trying to use OpenShot to make some simple videos of photos and video clips, but I find it terribly glitchy and sluggish to use. Is there any other software which can even just take photos and make a nice video slideshow from them?
[15:57] <earthworks951> If you haven't already go on the http://libreplanet.org/2015/live website
[15:57] <earthworks951> @zetheroo OpenShot works well for me
[15:57] <NinjaCowboy> zetheroo: There are a bunch of options, most of them being buggy. Kdenlive, Kino, Pitivi, avidemux, Cinelerra...
[15:57] <OerHeks> Cheese works fine too
[15:58] <TandyUK> dafuq... cannot mount /dev/sdf2 (my / partition) read-write because device is write protected
[15:58] <TandyUK> it wasnt write protected 5 mins ago
[15:58] <NinjaCowboy> zetheroo: OpenShot has two interfaces, GTK, and Qt. It seems strange, but when I've had one version crash, I switched to the other and it worked.
[15:59] <zetheroo> earthworks951: really? I find that as soon as I start using transition effects and fade-in/fade-out it gets all weirded out on me
[15:59] <cfhowlett> NinjaCowboy, looking for your question ...
[15:59] <zetheroo> I asked in the OpenShot channel about the issues I was having and they just told me that they are all anticipating version 2.0
[16:00] <NinjaCowboy> cfhowlett: I was answering zetheroo's question.
[16:00] <cfhowlett> NinjaCowboy, true.  ver 2.0 is supposed to be a major improvement
[16:00] <zetheroo> NinjaCowboy: how does one know which version they are using?
[16:00] <cfhowlett> NinjaCowboy, right.  sorry.  I didn't scroll up far enough.
[16:00] <cfhowlett> :)
[16:00] <cfhowlett> zetheroo, "about openshot" on the Help menu
[16:01] <zetheroo> ok ... OpenShot 1.4.3
[16:02] <cfhowlett> zetheroo, current version.
[16:02] <zetheroo> I don't see anything about GTK and/or QT
[16:03] <zetheroo> NinjaCowboy mentioned there being two interfaces .. sorry, was asking him how to know which one I was running ..
[16:07] <NinjaCowboy> zetheroo: I don't remember. It's been about a year since I've done video editing on Linux.
[16:07] <zetheroo> ok

[16:15] <NinjaCowboy> Is there a way to make Unity's dash come up quicker? I press the Win key, it sometimes takes 5 seconds to appear.
[16:16] <xangua> NinjaCowboy: sounds like a driver issue
[16:16] <xangua> is anything else but the dash slow?
[16:16] <NinjaCowboy> The HUD (Alt key) is slow, too.
[16:17] <minimec> natorious1990: I would file a bug for the 'lubuntu-logout' package. I have some test ARM-device here, and 'lubuntu-logout' in a terminal has no effect. But I can do some system updates with synaptic for example.
[16:18] <minimec> natorious1990: Normally using e17 as WM on that device.
[16:20] <NinjaCowboy> +1 e17!
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> NinjaCowboy: is it every press?
[16:21] <minimec> natorious1990: Ok... ;) lubuntu-logout worked with a 30 seconds delay... Running 14.04 on that machine.
[16:21] <NinjaCowboy> No. If I don't access it for a while, then it's slow. After I've already accessed the Dash, it comes up quicker.
[16:21] <natorious1990> minimec: so you can start synaptic from the GUI? I can't do that, I have to use sudo apt-get from a terminal. Excuse me while I go test lubuntu-logout :)
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> NinjaCowboy: how much RAM do you have?
[16:22] <NinjaCowboy> 2 GB
[16:22] <natorious1990> minimec: Oh, ok, never mind, then.
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> NinjaCowboy: and 2Gb of swap space?
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> NinjaCowboy: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue
[16:23] <NinjaCowboy> Yes, a 2 GB swap partition.
[16:23] <NinjaCowboy> Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS \n \l
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> NinjaCowboy: log off, log in to the Unity 2D session. Much faster, no Compiz garbage causing issues
[16:27] <NinjaCowboy> ActionParsnip: I'm actually using that now. It's still slow.
[16:28] <minimec> natorious1990: Oh... My session was only 'locked' not ended. There is a problem with 'lubuntu-logout'. I normally start synaptic in a terminal.
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> NinjaCowboy: let me search. I don't use Unity myself.
[16:30] <natorious1990> minimec: Ok, I will go test it, then. How can I tell whether the session was locked or ended?
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> NinjaCowboy: http://askubuntu.com/questions/231105/is-there-a-simple-way-to-diagnose-unity-performance-issues
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> NinjaCowboy: seems to be a dash blur thing
[16:33] <minimec> natorious1990: Well the screensaver locked it after 5 minutes I guess. I was chatting while testing.
[16:37] <natorious1990> minimec: lubuntu-logout works for me. It launched the dialogue box with buttons for shutting down etc, and when I clicked on 'Logout', and subsequently logged back in, it had killled all my windows.
[16:42] <jcart> does Ubuntu/anybody have recommendations for laptop brand? I heard some have complex UEFI/lowjack/recovery partition stuff that make it hard to put on linux
[16:42] <jcart> I want to buy a laptop and dedicate it to Ubuntu 14.10 desktop
[16:43] <minimec> natorious1990: Ok. I can login/logout a clean session. Once I open any gui software, I cannot logout anymore. 'killall lxsession' does the trick... ;) Again I use 14.04 here and e17 normally.
[16:43] <BluesKaj> jcart, dcepends whether or not you want to keep windows 8.1
[16:43] <jcart> don't want to keep windows
[16:44] <k1l_> erasing whole disk and only using ubuntu should be easy
[16:44] <jcart> so all brands are exactly the same?
[16:44] <RMJ> hi all, running 14.04 LTS, finding unity-settings-daemon seems to cause a "serious error" and getting lots of other "system program problem detected" dialogues every boot - it doesn't seem to cause any problems but it's worrying and irritating nonetheless
[16:45] <jcart> lenovo, dell, toshiba, samsung, acer, asus ?
[16:45] <jcart> somebody told me you can't install linux on certain laptops
[16:46] <jcart> because they change the bios or something
[16:46] <BluesKaj> the wipe windows and the recovery partitions cleanand remove them and creat anew partition table , then creat the your ext4 partitions that want to use and set the UEFI BIOS to l,gact mode with disabled secure boot and put whichever media t=you intend to instal from as first in the boot sequence
[16:46] <natorious1990> jcart: have you had a look on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecommendedHardware and http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/desktop/
[16:47] <jcart> awesome awesome thank you guys
[16:47] <BluesKaj> err legacy mode
[16:47]  * jcart copies what BluesKaj said into a .txt for saving and clicks on natorious1990's links
[16:47] <BluesKaj> scuse my poor spelling and grammar ...too much of a hurry
[16:48] <BluesKaj> jcart, let rephrase with proper spellings befor you copy
[16:49] <jcart> ah don't worry the meaning is clear
[16:51] <BluesKaj> jcart, then wipe windows and the recovery partitions clean and remove them. Then create a new partition table , then create the your ext4 partitions that want to use.Then set the UEFI BIOS to legacy mode with disabled secure boot and set whichever media you intend to install from as first in the boot sequence.
[16:51] <jcart> thank you blueskaj
[16:51] <jcart> i will name the computer after you for your help
[16:51] <RMJ> jcart - what are you installing onto?
[16:51] <BluesKaj> still not great , but you get the picture eh jcart ? :)
[16:52] <jcart> yea

[17:02] <RMJ> RudeViper - does this help? http://timstaley.co.uk/posts/graphical-ssh-agent-prompting-in-xubuntu/
[17:04] <RudeViper> RMJ I don't think so - the problem is I need the key to get in - I don't actually have it on the desktop mainly cuase I can't find it on the windows disk to pull it from - ad I don't know where on the server it is either - i could copy it from server if I knew where it was
[17:05] <RMJ> RudeViper - so you don't remember where on the server the keys were saved?
[17:06] <RudeViper> no I don't - and it's probably pretty simple
[17:08] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys
[17:10] <RMJ> based on that /home/b/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. would be a good guess

[17:11] <RMJ> but that assumes you set it up by following that tutorial exactly, you *could* have saved them anywhere
[17:12] <RudeViper> true - but actually seeing the filenames used here - I should be able to find them - lol - it may take a while.
[17:13] <RMJ> yeah, make a cup of tea and run a search via your windows login (which presumably works)

[17:44] <sre-su> Is it possible to use a 32GB USB work as fat32 storage, linux system and also a live usb for troubleshooting/installation purposes?
[17:46] <KnightsOfNi> Ubuntu server is hacked with this from the network department as info: hacked-webserver-stealrat-t1
[17:46] <KnightsOfNi> I tried these things: http://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/how-to-check-if-your-website-is-part-of-the-stealrat-botnet/ But I cannot find any leaks... clamscan also finds 0 infections
[17:47] <KnightsOfNi> the infection sends out spam mail. Anyone got any solution to this?
[17:47] <OerHeks> KnightsOfNi, likely the sshkeys or passwords are stolen.
[17:47] <k1l_> make a clean new install and change all passwords
[17:47] <thaxy> Rmj when I try from my flash disk I get an black screen after the grub menu
[17:48] <RMJ> thaxy - you shouldn't get the grub when you boot from flash
[17:48] <KnightsOfNi> I don't have the option of doing a fresh install. I need to remove the infection
[17:48] <ZIPY> EriC^^: i found a solution for this, i installed the guest additions running windows 8.1 as host and changed the resolution
[17:48] <iniq> KnightsOfNi you can never trust a compromised system
[17:48] <ZIPY> then switched back to debian :D
[17:48] <thaxy> Ok let me give ita try
[17:49] <onicrom> heh anyone know why the trusty kernel that can be installed for precise is newer than the version available for trusty itself?
[17:49] <OerHeks> KnightsOfNi, unplug it from the network, change all keys
[17:49] <onicrom> 3.13.0-48 vs -48
[17:49] <OerHeks> and update
[17:49] <KnightsOfNi> keys?
[17:49] <KnightsOfNi> it is unplugged
[17:49] <KnightsOfNi> but if the passwords get changed, won't it be just hacked again?
[17:50] <RMJ> thaxy - make sure it is booting from USB or CD (whichever your live disk is on) if you an still access a BIOS/UEFI menu by pressing whatever F key at boot
[17:50] <Diki1s> BCTF?
[17:50] <OerHeks> weak passwords smaller than 16 digits yes
[17:50] <k1l_> KnightsOfNi: that is why i said make a clean new install
[17:50] <k1l_> KnightsOfNi: and make sure you update your system regulary to get the security patches
[17:50] <OerHeks> k1l_ +1
[17:50] <RudeViper> ok - I have the keys copied onto my machine - couldn't  use the script to copy it over as I couldn't get into the desktop either - not running ssh server on it... does anyone know where I need to put them to make them work? so far I have been unable to find that information
[17:51] <cfoster> Hey guys - I want to create a task in Ubuntu so that a VPN connection turns on at 10pm and turns off at 6am.... Can anyone point me in the right direction to do this
[17:51] <alan_ubuntu> hello i am having problems with wine, i have a tv app and when i switch channels it crashes.
[17:51] <OerHeks> RudeViper, it should all be here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys
[17:52] <RudeViper> thats what I am using
[17:53] <RudeViper> I'm just not seeing it I guess
[17:53] <EriC^^> ZIPY: great! :)
[17:54] <thaxy> RMJ I am now on the USB OS could you help me to get my windows and Ubuntu working?
[17:54] <OerHeks> RudeViper, if you 'copied' them, they might have the wrong permissions >
[17:54] <cfoster> Any thoughts on my question regarding a task?
[17:54] <OerHeks>  This directory should have 755 permissions and be owned by the user. Move the authorized_keys file into it. The authorized_keys file should have 644 permissions and be owned by the user.
[17:54] <RMJ> i'm finding i'm getting appalling wifi reception in my ubuntu 14.04 system (other laptops in the vicinity are fine, as is the same laptop on its Win8 dual boot). It's a broadcom  BCM43142  onboard adapter
[17:54] <arthurfiggis> KnightsOfNi, from my experience anyway, and that's just my experience so take it for what it's worth :) but if a server has been compromised...you need to have very good backups that you can verify, then you need to take the system offline asap, flatten it completely and restore user data from the backups that you (hopefully) kept...not as helpful as i'd like but practically that's the best approach
[17:54] <RMJ> thaxy  - try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[17:55] <RMJ> using boot-repair is fairly straightforwards
[17:55] <RudeViper> not they aren't the wrong ones - I need to install them into the desktop not the server -
[17:55] <arthurfiggis> KnightsOfNi, i'd also recommend installing something like rkhunter on the server before it's brought back online, it does some simple monitoring of some system-critical files...tripwire is more complicated to set up but provides much better monitoring
[17:56] <OerHeks> RudeViper, oke, for the desktop guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys
[17:56] <thaxy2> thanks I will give it a trz RMJ
[17:57] <arthurfiggis> cfoster, sorry, i missed your question initially...setting up time-based processes or programs running is usually cron's job, to pardon the pun :) i'm not familiar with configuring cron personally, but i'd imagine the website/similar wiki pages have a lot of info on how to set up a cron job to run (and terminate) whatever program you would like
[17:58] <arthurfiggis> cfoster, (/etc/cron.daily contains scripts that run on a daily basis for example, reading those as examples might be helpful)
[18:00] <RMJ> are wifi issues above likely to be driver related?
[18:01] <RudeViper> ok all of these instructions are for generating keys on the server and then putting them on the desktop machine while connected- I have them already - how to install them on the desktop but can't connect to finish that part of the process
[18:03] <thaxy> Thank you so much that helped. Where ist the boot loader installed and can you only have one?
[18:03] <EriC^^> cfoster: man 5 crontab, basically you want 0 22 * * * command to turn at 10pm and 0 6 * * * command to turn off at 6am
[18:04] <EriC^^> cfoster: if you open a terminal and type man 5 crontab it explains more, crontab -e edits the current user's crontab
[18:04] <RMJ> thaxy - should only need one, check it loads all your os's
[18:05] <arthurfiggis> EriC^^, thanks for that, i had a vague idea of what direction to look in but I haven't played with cron enough to offer specific advice myself :)
[18:05] <thaxy> Thanks
[18:06] <EriC^^> arthurfiggis: :)
[18:07] <mahsum> hi Myfriends . how are you ?
[18:07] <cfoster> Thank you guys, I'm having some other problems I  will read up on what ya'll provided and come back with more questions I'm sure.  Really appreciate it!
[18:11] <puff> I'm trying to make a bootable thumb drive.
[18:12] <RMJ> puff - from what, and to boot what?
[18:12] <psyanide> anyone working with cumulus
[18:12] <Quantos> Puff check this out http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu
[18:14] <puff> RMJ: Thinking lubuntu.
[18:17] <RMJ> puff - dowwnload a lubuntu disc image and use startup disk creator in ubuntu to make the flash drive into a boot disk....lubuntu is pretty minimalist, as a warning...
[18:17] <puff> RMJ, Quantos: Thanks, that's where I'm having the problem.
[18:17] <puff> RMJ: Yeah, it's for running on an old inspiron 6000, 1.3Ghz, 1GB ram.
[18:18] <puff> So I've got an ISO downloaded, got a 4GB sandisk cruzer plugged in, run startup disk creator, select the ISO, select the sandisk cruzer, but the "Make startup disk" button is still grayed out.
[18:19] <OerHeks> puff i think Xubuntu will run good too
[18:19] <puff> Should I torch the existing ext4 partition on the cruzer?
[18:19] <saleem> hi, i just did dist-upgrade and now synaptic looks weird http://imgur.com/6SdmPB4 , can someone please guide me what is gone wrong?
[18:19] <OerHeks> puff, yes, the usb should have fat32 to put the iso on
[18:20] <puff> RMJ, Quantos:  Okay, in my tabbing back and forth between the gparted and startup disk creator menus, the "make startup disk" button became live... but when I clicked on it, said "Installation failed".
[18:20] <saleem> most probably some icons theme has been removed but im not sure which one
[18:20] <saleem> need little help here
[18:20] <puff> OerHeks: Okay, so delete existing partitions from the usb drive and format the whole thing as fat32?
[18:20] <OerHeks> Yes
[18:21] <OerHeks> !usb
[18:21] <Quantos> Saleem, is that Windows?
[18:22] <saleem> no its trusty tahr just themed as windows
[18:22] <puff> OerHeks: Nothing on that page says format the device as fat32.
[18:22] <Bohemus> Need some assistance getting my function keys on my Asus X551MA to control brightness. The brigtness slider in XFCE is able to change the brightness correctly, but I would like to assign that function to the function keys.
[18:22] <EriC^^> must see
[18:22] <Quantos> Interesting saleem
[18:22] <hithere> hi, I'm trying to create a usb boot disk for ubuntu via mac os x. This is being made for a windows machine, however. I formatted the disk to MS-DOS FAT, downloaded the ISO, and used unetbootin to create the disk. When I boot to the USB on the windows machine, all I see is a black screen and a white flashing line. What did I do wrong?
[18:22] <Quantos> I don't know what it's supposed to look like saleem, I won't be much help I'm afraid
[18:23] <saleem> thanks Quantos but this weird looking synaptic is bothering me
[18:23] <Quantos> I know what you mean
[18:24] <arthurfiggis> saleem, does the same problem with rendering happen with the traditional, default theme? i've found that some custom themes can be very troublesome with certain applications, it's hard to predict which they'll cause trouble with
[18:24] <saleem> autoremove took off some package but im not sure which one
[18:24] <OerHeks> puff, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Create_Bootable_USB_Manually
[18:24] <OerHeks> #1
[18:24] <EriC^^> saleem: /var/log/apt/history.log
[18:25] <lucido> how can I force Vsync on an amd gpu?
[18:25] <RMJ> bohemus - try http://askubuntu.com/questions/471847/brightness-fn-key-shortcut-doesnt-work-on-asus-laptop various solutions there including mapping hotkeys
[18:26] <puff> OerHeks: Thanks.
[18:27] <puff> OerHeks: To be specific, I want to make a bootable thumb drive with persistence.
[18:27] <aisat> Hi, so I haven't used my ubuntu system for about a month, and now the wired connection has stopped working. How would you go about troubleshooting/solving that? Any resources that can be helpful?
[18:27] <cage> This isn't really ubuntu question. But has anyone made osx run well on virtualbox?
[18:27] <EriC^^> puff: unetbootin
[18:27] <ZiRiS> Hi. I have a question about my mouse. I'm running Linux Mint 17.1 XFCE on two laptops. The one I'm on is a Sager, the other one is a Mac Book Pro. When my external mouse is plugged into the Sager, tracking is just awful, but the touchpad works fine. On the Mac Book Pro, the touch pad quit working until I logged out & back in, but the external mouse works just fine on it. I'm not really sure how to troubleshoot this and hoped some
[18:28] <hithere> unetbootin results in the computer booting to a black screen with a flashing white line in the upper left corner.
[18:28] <Quantos> Cage, that's against the Apple EULA
[18:28] <EriC^^> hithere: try dd
[18:28] <hithere> EriC^^ is dd another program?
[18:28] <EriC^^> !nomodeset | also first, try nomodeset
[18:29] <cage> Quantos: I know, but people are doing it still
[18:29] <Quantos> So, what makes you think that we'll give you help doing it?
[18:29] <EriC^^> hithere: yes, a command line tool
[18:29] <hithere> EriC^^ thx
[18:30] <OerHeks> cage, if it is not legal, this channel will not support it, see !coc
[18:30] <ZiRiS> cage: What are you trying to do? I came late into the conversation, but I might be able to help. PM me.
[18:30] <cage> Well
[18:30] <cage> It's not like apple gives you a chance to do that legally without buying some hardware
[18:31] <cage> That's why I thought it wouldn't be that harsh of a crime
[18:31] <aisat> Only purpose of doing a virtual osx would be for porting purposes.. otherwise, why use osx, am I right fellas, haha
[18:31] <RudeViper> well slowly making headway - now when I try to ssh-add I get this error : Error reading response length from authentication socket.
[18:31] <RudeViper> Could not add identity: -
[18:31] <k1l_> cage: better ask in #vbox since that is not really an ubuntu issue
[18:32] <puff> OerHeks: Does the thumb drive created by startup disk creator do persistence?
[18:32] <cage> which is why I said that it's not really an ubuntu thing, but that someone here who doesn't want to use apple hardware might know about
[18:32] <cage> I apologize for breaking any rules
[18:33] <k1l_> cage: no big deal, we just try to keep the channel focused on ubuntu to help the users with ubuntu issues.
[18:34] <cage> oaky
[18:34] <cage> *okay
[18:34] <ZiRiS> Anyone have any suggestions about my mouse? For the record, Linux Mint is based off of Ubuntu, which is why I'm asking here.
[18:35] <aisat> Ok to be a bit more specific. I can't connect to my wired connection, here's what I know. My system see's a wired connection 1, and the motherboard adapter lights up so it seems to recognize that there's a connection. When I run lshw -C network I get some product info so, I guess the system finds the network card? nm-tool tells me it's disconnected
[18:35] <aisat>  and that's about it. Doing a cat on network interfaces returns auto lo, iface lo inet loopback. So yeah I'm a bit stuck
[18:35] <k1l_> !mint | ZiRiS
[18:35] <puff> I'm making this bootable/persistent live thumb drive to let a friend test drive ubuntu.  The drive is 4GB.  Relatively speaking, how much space should I allocate to the install vs. persistence for them?
[18:36] <ZiRiS> lol ty k1l
[18:36] <aisat> Also, I've tried the cable.. that ain't the problem :(
[18:37] <arthurfiggis> puff: i've managed to get by with 1GB for the installation files and 1GB for persistence on a 2GB thumb drive, so with a 4GB drive, I would say leave 1-1.5GB for Ubuntu and you could probably use the rest of the space for persistence :) i've not done it in a while though, so you might want to check with someone who has
[18:37] <ZiRiS> aisat: create a new wired connection, disable the default one, see what happens.
[18:37] <puff> Dangit, I hate it when GUI apps jump to top when I'm in the middle of typing something, then before I can stop myself I've hit a key and the gui app closes.
[18:37] <puff> arthurfiggis: Thanks.
[18:38] <puff> OerHeks, arthurfiggis: this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent seems to suggest opening the thumb drive with gparted and creating a separate, ext4 partition named casper-rw for the persistence.
[18:39] <puff> OerHeks, arthurfiggis:  Is this a good idea?  It doesn't clearly say whether you should or shouldn't.
[18:39] <aisat> Zir
[18:39] <puff> OerHeks, arthurfiggis:  Also, the page said there would be a slider control for persistence size, but it didn't have one for me.
[18:39] <aisat> ZiRiS: how do I do that, haha sorry a bit new
[18:40] <arthurfiggis> puff: hmm...strange, i've always tended to let the usb creator handle it on its own, i'm not sure why the slider control would be absent...i'll try and find a usb thumb drive around here somewhere and see if i can test it out myself, i'm running 14.10 however, not sure what release you're running
[18:40] <puff> arthurfiggis: Yoiks, putting lubuntu on it used up 1.69GB.
[18:40] <aisat> ZiRiS: think I found it nvm :)
[18:41] <puff> arthurfiggis: 14.04
[18:41] <puff> arthurfiggis: 14.04 LTS.
[18:42] <arthurfiggis> puff: ahh, i see...starting up the usb creator in 14.10 the slider is at the bottom, though i can't imagine why it wouldn't appear in 14.04, unless there was some bug fix in that regard :/ i may have a 14.04 image, i'll start that up in a virtual machine and see whether or not the slider appears
[18:43] <puff> When I went to right-click unmount the thumb drive:  Failed to eject "4.0 GB Volume"\n  A drive that is part of the same device is in use: Device /dev/sr1 is mounted.
[18:43] <puff> arthurfiggis: Doh, ran startup disk creator again, yeah, the slider is there but it's grayed otu.
[18:44] <puff> arthurfiggis: Looks like it defaults to 1 GB.
[18:44] <aisat> Creating a new connection did not have any effect on it.
[18:44] <aisat> What would be the next thing to troubleshoot?
[18:46] <arthurfiggis> puff: ahh, i see...sorry, was just in another window verifying it was there in the 14.04 image that i have :) hmm...unfortunately i don't have a usb thumb drive smaller than 8gb to test it with though, on the 32gb one i have it's not grayed out but i know that's not very helpful! perhaps someone else here might know what causes the slider itself to be grayed out though
[18:47] <arthurfiggis> puff: though for testing purposes 1gb of persistent space might be fine...on the other hand if more is required, that might be what they recommend creating a partition manually for?
[18:48] <puff> arthurfiggis: Yeah.
[18:48] <puff> arthurfiggis: I'm going to try it out and see if it works, see if perisistence works as is, and then I'll look at making a separate persistence partition.
[18:50] <arthurfiggis> puff: probably a safe idea! sorry i couldn't offer more advice, if i can find a <=4GB thumb drive around here to test it out with i'll pop back in here and let you know (if you're still around of course ;) )
[18:51] <arthurfiggis> the page seems to describe the process of creating it manually pretty well so that shouldn't be much trouble if necessary
[18:53] <RMJ> any suggestions for improving wifi performance (only gets a weak signal even when close to router) please?
[18:54] <justinX> somebody knows how the samba filenames works, smb:// or /run/username/1000/gvfs/smb-share: -kind of filenames. When is what?
[18:55] <justinX> and what to do when a program gets the smb:// filename, but don't understand it..
[18:56] <klys> try \\\\share\\relative\\path\\to\\file
[18:56] <klys> or smb://share/relative/path/to/file
[18:56] <tswett> Ahoy. Is there a PDF reader for Ubuntu with touchscreen support—swipe to scroll, pinch to zoom, rotate to rotate, all that jazz?
[18:57] <janslow> hey aisat are you running desktop or server ubuntu?
[18:59] <puff> ARgh/
[18:59] <justinX> klys: the thing is, when I from filemanager do "Open with VLC" on the windows-share then VLC gets a filename like "/run/username/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=computername,share=music/song.mp3" and can open it, but it I want to drag&drop from filemanager to VLC it instead gets "smb://computername/music/song.mp3" and that don't work.
[18:59] <puff> RMJ: Make sure there's no sheets of corrugated metal between your machine and the access point.
[18:59] <puff> RMJ: Not kidding, I had that happen once.
[19:00] <justinX> *if I
[19:00] <janslow> RMJ move to a different channel? might be a busy channel
[19:00] <puff> RMJ: My signal went to hell, I spent a couple hours trying to figure out what happened.  Then I went over to the access point and found that some idiot had propped a 4' x 4' sheet of metal in a direct line between my laptop and the access point.
[19:00] <justinX> ...and I do want drag&drop to work - even from smb shares.
[19:00] <RMJ> other laptops (also on 14.04LTS) work fine in the same vicinity
[19:01] <RMJ> so i think its a laptop-specific issue rather than infrastructure issue
[19:01] <Fudster> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10645280/ < ---- The file is there... but it says its not? Any idea's?
[19:01] <justinX> (even if that means it must be generating the horrible /run/username/1000/gvfs/ filenames while drag&dropping too)
[19:01] <puff> RMJ, OerHeks, arthurfiggis:  Hm... okay, rebooted the inspiron, tapped f12 to get the boot menu, selected "USB device" and now it says "Missing parameter in configuration file. Keyword: path"\n  gxfboot.c32:  not a COM32R image\n  boot:
[19:01] <janslow> faulty hardware RMJ?
[19:01] <RMJ> (in my house the walls are 2 or 3 ft thick so wifi is always a pain but its usually better than this)
[19:01] <puff> RMJ: What's it doing?
[19:02] <puff> RMJ: I'm struggling with wireless myself, it seems to just forget about my AP every half hour or so.
[19:02] <RMJ> signal keeps dropping out, its a broadcom adaptor, onboard, on a lenovo yoga - brand new so shouldn't be a problem
[19:02] <RMJ> no, different problem to that!
[19:02] <puff> RMJ: And then I have to disable/reenable wireless for the AP's ESSID to show up again.
[19:03] <puff> RMJ: I'm on a thinkpad t520, intel wireless.
[19:03] <janslow> well, there's a reason manufacturers have warranties
[19:06] <Bashing-om> Fudster: Did you set the execute bit on the Nvidia script file ? -> ls -al MCMA2_Linux_x86_64 <- .
[19:06] <RMJ> works fine on the windows 8 dual boot
[19:06] <Fudster> Bashing-om: -rwxr-xr-x 1 josh josh 32189617 Nov 20  2013 MCMA2_Linux_x86_64
[19:07] <Bashing-om> Fudster: looks good . should workie .
[19:07] <puff`> RMJ: Check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported ?
[19:08] <Fudster> Bashing-om:  Well its not :/ Its THERE but it claims its not there. Unless its looking for another file? Which it shouldnt be prefixed with bash aye?
[19:09] <arthurfiggis> puff: i was trying to find some reference to that error and i'm not having a whole lot of luck...there does seem to be one similar forum post that mentions a possible solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2249701
[19:10] <arthurfiggis> puff`, however, i'm not sure what specifically causes that error, so i'd probably try and see if someone a bit more experienced has dealt with it before trying anything that might affect your system stability...i.e. twiddling with bios settings :)
[19:11] <puff`> arthurfiggis: thanks.
[19:11] <arthurfiggis> puff`, (it seems to be related to a bug in the usb creator itself, with a report on the bug referenced here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/1325801)
[19:11] <puff`> arthurfiggis: Trying that out now.
[19:12] <Bashing-om> Fudster: Looks to me like you are doing all correct. Yout PWD is the directory where the target file is located, the file is present, and you are using the correct syntax (./) - this file in the PWD - I do not see why the file is not seen .
[19:13] <arthurfiggis> puff`, best of luck :) if all else fails you could dd the image to the usb hard drive and then manually create the persistence partition (i'd imagine), but that's a bit beyond my expertise i'm afraid!
[19:13] <Fudster> Bashing-om:  Yeah. :/ no idea..
[19:13] <RMJ> not listed but it does work sometimes
[19:13] <puff`> arthurfiggis: I appreciate the help.
[19:14] <puff> arthurfiggis: Hm, it appears to be booting, yay.
[19:14] <puff> RMJ: That sucks... hardware compatibility drives me nuts.  I do a bunch of research and take what are supposed to be the "safe" choices... and then they turn out not to be safe.
[19:15] <arthurfiggis> puff, great, fingers crossed that it's the only problem that you run into then :) it seems that it's a well known bug and being worked on currently, so hopefully in the near future it'll be patched
[19:15] <RMJ> had to install upstream driver kernel to make it work in the first place
[19:16] <RMJ> also this hardwware support document hasnt been updated for years
[19:16]  * zburns_away is now away - Reason : Auto-Away (Away from Keyboard for 30 minutes)
[19:18] <puff> arthurfiggis: Hm, it seems to work, but it's slower than I'd hoped.
[19:20] <puff> arthurfiggis: Like I type "man lsusb" and it took 3-4 seconds for it to get the man page up...
[19:20] <arthurfiggis> puff, unfortunately a lot of usb thumb drives don't have very fast read/write access times, even less so for usb 1.x and 2.x-based ones :/ they're good for getting a feel for things and making sure that it boots, but probably not something i'd use for day-to-day operation
[19:21] <puff> arthurfiggis: Yeah, I was hoping it would be reasonably fast (compared to winxp....) and give them a nice taste of linux.
[19:21] <puff> The disk is only 52GB and winxp takes up 43GB, but I still might be better off installing a dual boot for them...
[19:22] <arthurfiggis> puff, not a very good access time for a demo, i'd agree! i'm not sure how you'd get around that, to be honest...the PC I have currently only has usb 2.x ports, the access times to usb _hard drives_ is good, but thumb drives not so much :/ if the system is capable of dual booting (a winxp machine should be), i'd probably go with that...the winxp partition would even be accessible from ubuntu, so if they needed to move files over from
[19:22] <arthurfiggis> windows to linux it'd work pretty seamlessly :)
[19:24] <puff> Yeah, I'm just hyperconscious of the fact that their drive is near full already. Sigh.
[19:24] <puff> I wish I could afford to buy them a cheap used machine.
[19:25] <puff> A couple hundred bucks would buy them a machine twice as fast, etc.
[19:25] <puff> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10645479/
[19:26] <arthurfiggis> puff: you can get 1TB usb hard drives fairly cheaply now as well, they could move all their important files/media onto that and use the hard drive for os/program storage only :) works pretty well for me anyway, and in their case it would save them quite a bit
[19:27] <puff> Probably be easier to just pick up a cheap but larger HD for their current laptop.
[19:27] <arthurfiggis> (the access times are generally a lot better too, 51MB/s read/write with the WD 1042 USB HD I use)
[19:27] <arthurfiggis> puff: ahh, well depending on the laptop that might be the best as well...having a bigger hard drive in the laptop itself couldn't hurt matters :)
[19:27] <justinX> nowbody knew how to make drag&drop from smb:// to programs like VLC and comix work?
 The disk is only 52GB and winxp takes up 43GB, but I still might be better off installing a dual boot for them...     <----- windowsXP sp3 basic install is only 2.5gbs, that not including the pagefile.sys, which is usually around 1gb, add a few drivers, and it won't even get to 3gbs I don't think, including pagefile.sys it wouldn't be more than 5gbs
[19:31] <RMJ> puff - quality of usb stick makes a huge difference
[19:33] <bprompt> hmm Verbatim seems to have good usb-chipsets on theirs, they seem to have a better speed than many
[19:35] <puff> bprompt: All I know is that when I finished installing winxp and then running windows update for about 24 hours straight, it's now 43GB used.
[19:36] <bprompt> puff:     well, I've installed winxp sp3 many times, it boils down to 2.5gbs only, add drivers  and pagefile.sys, and it's about 4gbs or so
[19:36] <bprompt> the pagefile.sys is usually 1gb
[19:37] <puff> bprompt: I'll reboot into windows and meet you over on ##windows.
[19:37] <bprompt> k
[19:37] <mike> hello
[19:38] <Bashing-om> puff: A thought: is not Windows XP at End_Of_Life, and no longer supported by Windows ?
[19:38] <bryan> sup mike
[19:38] <OerHeks> xp is EOL and offtopic
[19:39] <plizer> how do you change the gui for ubuntu to e.g xfe
[19:39] <EriC^^> plizer: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[19:40] <k1l_> plizer: install the xfce package, logout and choose xfce on the login screen
[19:41] <plizer> thanks erick
[19:46] <justinX> Bashing-om: microsoft still makes updates for winXP, but they are pay-for only.
[19:48] <justinX> Bashing-om: you can get most (if not all) of them though, if you change a registry setting in winXP to make it idenity as POS2009, because that is supported until 2019. (and is the same thing as winXP minus some parts like mediaplayer and minesweeper etc)
[19:51] <justinX> is it very hard to manually make a package that say "I fullfill this and this and this so you don't need those packages", while it don't do anything at all (or install any files)" ? for use together with programs that say they "depend" on something but it really should have been a "recommend" or "suggest" ?
[19:52] <EriC^^> justinX: no it's very easy, but you could force install if you know they work for sure using dpkg
[19:56] <cfoster> Hello!
[19:56] <km52> Hi, Im using Mint linux, and got errors with connections. Saying Im not authorized. I can get 3g and wlan to work when i kill those and start with root.
[19:57] <kostkon> !mint
[19:57] <km52> thanks
[19:59] <justinX> EriC^^: that sounds awsome. do you know any link to a description how to make one.
[19:59] <justinX> and I normaly use Synaptic for all installs...
[19:59] <LOrne> hi - new convert from Windows here...and I can't seem to understand how Ubuntu manages physical drives...
[20:00] <EriC^^> justinX: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=910717
[20:00] <justinX> ok I look there
[20:00] <LOrne> has someone got the patience to help out?
[20:01] <justinX> LOrne: you mean like usb-sticks?
[20:01] <teward> LOrne: what do you mean by "manage" as well
[20:01] <catbusters> LOrne: Are you facing problems?
[20:02] <catbusters> Is there some way I could save a map of my filesystem? Like, all the directory and file names
[20:02] <gcbirzan> So, trying to download ubuntu is redirecting me to a parked domain
[20:02] <LOrne> thanks teward... yeah -- I have a few old drives I wanted to test and copy data from...so plugged them into my new ubuntu box...and DRIVE says its "about to fail"...so I'd like to coy data from it...but can't figure out how to even see data on it!
[20:02] <gcbirzan> that's immediately after asking me for money...
[20:03] <cfoster> I have learned how to use Crontab to schedule some tasks.  Now I am writing a script.  I believe I have one that can be run to turn on my VPN then keep checking to make sure it's on and reconnect if it finds its disconnected.  Now I want to write one that will run 8 hours later and disconnect the VPN  anyone have any thoughts on the best way to do that?  Or maybe I'm not attacking this right?
[20:03] <teward> gcbirzan: where are you hitting the 'download' button from
[20:03] <minimec> LOrne: Basically Boot HD is 'sda' additional ones (including USB sticks or so) 'sdb' and so on. First partition on Boot HD is 'sda1', first partition on let's say a USB stick could be 'sdb1'
[20:03] <gcbirzan> teward: You mean where am I based, or?
[20:03] <rypervenche> LOrne: You will want to use something like ddrescue for that.
[20:03] <teward> gcbirzan: no, i mean what did you click to try and download, and was it on ubuntu.com or no?
[20:03] <catbusters> gcbirzan: Use this link: http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04.2/ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso
[20:03] <gcbirzan> catbusters: That's besides the point.
[20:03] <catbusters> Or just go to releases.ubuntu.com
[20:04] <LOrne> minemic - yes, so the drive I want to copy is sdc ... but how do I even open that?  When I got to dev/scd/ it won't open that loc..or navigate to it...
[20:04] <gcbirzan> teward: I went to google.com, searched ubuntu, went to the website, was asked to donate 16 USD to renew xenvps.com
[20:04] <gcbirzan> Sorry, xenvps.us
[20:04] <gcbirzan> or, well, I guess that's why the donate button is there.
[20:04] <teward> gcbirzan: that's the wrong site
[20:04] <gcbirzan> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?country=BG&version=14.10&architecture=amd64
[20:04] <teward> gcbirzan: ONLY go to ubuntu.com to get the download link
[20:04] <EriC^^> catbusters: gvfs-tree /
[20:05] <gcbirzan> That's the page that redirects me to http://ubuntu.xenvps.us/releases/14.10/ubuntu-14.10-desktop-amd64.iso
[20:05] <teward> ooo
[20:05] <minimec> LOrne: normally as user you should be able to mount them with the filemanager.
[20:05] <gcbirzan> Not always, mind you, I get ubuntu.ipacct.com that works and releases.ubuntu.com that also works
[20:05] <gcbirzan> but, 1/3
[20:06] <catbusters> gcbirzan: I guess its a mirror the domain for which got expired
[20:06] <gcbirzan> No shit?
[20:06] <collizion> Someone forgot to renew their domain. Whoops.
[20:06] <gcbirzan> Yeah. But, it's linked off the main site, for me ~50% of the time.
[20:07] <gcbirzan> I thought someone might want to know...
[20:07] <teward> gcbirzan: lets not swear in here - i'll poke different people and see where it has to be reported.
[20:07] <teward> gcbirzan: thanks for the noice :)
[20:07] <LOrne> minimec - but how is it viewed in the filemanager?  I am expecting to see the physical drive there in the left area..and want to click in it... but all I see are folders for RECENT HOME DESKTOP etc...and DEVICES COMPUTER...(just ONE device there!!  Shouldnt it have each drive?!)
[20:07] <teward> notice*
[20:09] <LOrne> minimec ... and when I click COMPUTER it goes to the bin boot cdrom....etc folders.... I do see dev...in there...so I click into it, expecting a sdc folder for the drive...but it isn't there... (im sure there somthing simple and fundamental I'm not understanding aboiut how ubuntu files/folder/drives)
[20:10] <minimec> LOrne: They should be in the 'Devices' section in the left menu in Nautilus. Press F9 -> view -> sidebar
[20:10] <gcbirzan> LOrne: If you see anything in there, it's not a permissions issue, so, are you sure it actually exists?
[20:12] <gcbirzan> teward: Argh. Sorry... I wrote this 5 times but got distracted by another window and deleted it. I was just a bit frustrated, especially since I knew I was in the right place but was told "oh, make sure you download it from the right place". And the donation thing, but, again, sorry
[20:13] <LOrne> under devices it only says "computer"...and I have 3 hard drives in the machine right now (!)
[20:13] <cfoster> Hello, does anyone know a good website for writing scripts to do stuff in Linux?
[20:14] <gcbirzan> cfoster: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ It's a bit dated, but a good start
[20:14] <gcbirzan> oh, it's being updated nowadays....
[20:14] <LOrne> but in the DISKS utility - it shows all three HD's there... but in FILES, DEVICES it only shows "Computer"
[20:15] <gcbirzan> LOrne: Is anything on this drive you're talking about?
[20:15] <SchrodingersScat> cfoster: if you mean bash, then this one is nice, http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide
[20:15] <LOrne> yes.  my sdc drive has about 1T of music I want off :)
[20:16] <minimec> LOrne: In a console... 'lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT,LABEL | pastebinit' You may have to install 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit' before.
[20:17] <minimec> LOrne: That command will list all available drives...
[20:17] <minimec> LOrne: ... and paste a copy of it on pastebin. You can then share that with us, or not ... ;)
[20:19] <tgio> ciao
[20:19] <tgio> !list
[20:20] <owen1> i run apt-get update and maybe apt-get upgrade and when i booted i wasn't able to see the login screen. so i restarted and picked older kernel from the list. how do i troubleshoot this issue?
[20:21] <cfoster> Thanks guys.
[20:22] <LOrne> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10645827/
[20:25] <teward> gcbirzan: I've poked the relevant teams, it'll eventually be addressed - however for now there's not much you can do about it.
[20:25] <teward> gcbirzan: (the download button problem).  thanks.
[20:25] <gcbirzan> I don't expect there's much _I_ can do about it :P
[20:25] <minimec> LOrne: Ok. In a normal Ubuntu installation they should show up in the filemanager...
[20:26] <LOrne> minimec so I'm not normal :P ?
[20:26] <akira__> Omg
[20:27] <gcbirzan> LOrne: Is it mounted, if you run mount?
[20:27] <LOrne> minimec you should know I built this machine myself...and installed ubuntu myself...and may have missed a step...so if there is a mistake - it may be my own fault
[20:28] <LOrne> gcbirzan  you ,mean mount it from DISKS utility?
[20:28] <gcbirzan> LOrne: I mean, if you type in a console "mount"
[20:29] <gcbirzan> LOrne: but, the other one could work
[20:30] <akira__> my ping is killing me
[20:30] <LOrne> gcbirzan ok this ,might be the problem... MOUNT in terminal only seems to provide data on SBA ... not the others
[20:31] <gcbirzan> LOrne: It's not really a problem.
[20:31] <gcbirzan> LOrne: it just means it wasn't mounted.
[20:31] <LOrne> ok so how do I mount it?
[20:31] <gcbirzan> LOrne: If you try to mount it from whatever tool you were talking about before, what happens?
[20:32] <gcbirzan> LOrne: Alternatively, you can make a directory in /mnt, say /mnt/music (as root, so sudo mkdir /mnt/music), then you run sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/music
[20:32] <catbusters> Eric^^: Couldn't I just use tree instead of gvfs-tree?
[20:33] <catbusters> Sorry, EriC^^
[20:33] <EriC^^> catbusters: i guess
[20:34] <EriC^^> gvfs-tree is already installed though in ubuntu though
[20:34] <catbusters> EriC^^: Yeah, I used it on Ubuntu, but I was asking because it isn't available on OS X
[20:37] <LOrne> it seems the DISKS utility wont give me the option to mount it
[20:40] <cfoster> Hey guys - I have another question you've all been really helpful so far.  I can't seem to get the 3d cube working in Compiz, I've installed the plugins and I have selected it in Compiz Manager, but when I rotating my workspace, it's just like a wall rather than a cube
[20:43] <welovfree> where in the ubuntu website I can find the .deb package of winehq
[20:44] <cfoster> When I edit crontab do I have to reboot the computer to get the job to run?
[20:44] <kaz> Hi. What do I need to know to work as a Ubuntu support?
[20:45] <SchrodingersScat> cfoster: probably only if you used @reboot or whatever the flag is
[20:46] <cfoster> No reboot necessary, WOOHOO my first cronjob is a success :D
[20:47] <catbusters> welovfree: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages
[20:47] <cfoster> SchrodingersScat, thanks.  I go tit working, any idea on why instead of the ubuntu splash screen at startup I get a blaack screen?
[20:50] <welovfree> what is this
[20:50] <welovfree> 	wine1.7-dbg_1.7.38-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
[20:50] <welovfree> is this all I need to install wine on my machine
[20:51] <k1l_> welovfree: why dont you use apt-get install  to install wine?
[20:52] <welovfree> kll_: I will give a lecture "an introduction to wine" and I have to demonstrate to my classmate how to install wine using .deb .rpm and using apt-get that's why?
[20:53] <bodhizazen> apt-get will not install a .rpm
[20:53] <crepple> welovfree There are loads of guides to installing Wine. http://askubuntu.com/questions/316025/how-to-install-and-configure-wine used to be my favourite - haven't used wine lately though
[20:54] <bodhizazen> winehq is the best source of information on wine
[20:54] <crepple> welovfree There is asimilar guide for Fedora but I can't find it right now
[20:55] <welovfree> bodhizazen: but I didn't find where to find the .deb nor the .rpm packages
[20:55] <UbuN2> https://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu
[20:55] <UbuN2> :)
[20:55] <bodhizazen> wine is in the repos for most distros, including Ubuntu, and Fedora
[20:55] <k1l_> !wine | welovfree
[20:55] <crepple> welovfree You don't really need them. If you want an up to date version, the ppa is usually bang up
[20:56] <bodhizazen> there are also ppa
[20:56] <crepple> Even if you run Slackware their are slackbuilds
[20:57]  * UbuN2 hugs his ubuntu
[20:58] <crepple> I meant to say "there are slackbuilds" what a weird typo
[21:07] <notdaniel> so i've been trying to get ubuntu installed on these pretty beefy workstations with K6000 gpus. can't get ubuntu to boot at all without specifying nomodeset. i've been spoiled by ubuntu always working out of the box so well for me before. is the solutoin to this as simple as just installing with nomodeset and then just installing the nvidia driver?

[21:41] <Arrick> anyone know of a ubuntu download server that is faster than 600kbps?

[21:41] <Arrick> yeah
[21:41] <Arrick> I want the latest stable for deskop, I have an HP z200 sff workstation and need the 64 bit.

[21:43] <Arrick> hrm
[21:43] <Arrick> I have a 16mb pipe, and it's only hitting 600kbps on the servers I've tried
[21:43] <owen1> how to upgrade libmlt++3 and libmlt6? i tried dpkg -i <deb files> but it didn't do anything (https://askubuntu.com/questions/541635/no-audio-in-rendered-video-files/548279)

[21:45] <freezer> hi
[21:45] <freezer> having some mouse issues with Ubuntu 15.04, is that a known issue? E.g. scrolling is unreliable
[21:46] <k1l_> freezer: see #ubuntu+1 and bugs at launchpad.net for 15.04
[21:48] <freezer> thanks, asking there
[21:50] <crepple> Arrick That's a weird coincidence. I got almost exactly that when grabbing Debian packages ealier and I'm on 30mb (Nominally 56mbs but I never get that)

[22:39] <Guest47355>  okay this is
[22:39] <pantato> siimin: i think i need pipelight
[22:39] <pantato> getting it now
[22:41] <siimin> pantato: ok, dunno, I downloaded quantum moves and ran it with "java -jar QuantumMovesDemo.jar"
[22:42] <pantato> yeah, that worked for me
[22:42] <pantato> but neither of the embedded games do
[22:42] <siimin> pantato: didnt't check the site that thorougly yet :D
[22:43] <pantato> supposedly they're games designed to see if "plebieans" can contribute to quantum computers
[22:43] <pantato> s/plebieans/plebeians
[22:44] <siimin> pantato: sounde interesting, just so happened I chose the nonembedded one to try it out *doh*
[22:45] <siimin> also the embedded ones did not function here either
[22:54] <Arrick> hey all, I have an HP Compaq LA2205wg monitor with a resolution of 1680x1024... I do believe my video is intel.. anyone want to point me to a tutorial on being able to display the native resolution? it currently will only display 800x600 and 1024x768
[22:55] <Arrick> running on 14.04
[22:56] <Paul1233> Would anyone know why cd/home/bananapi/,sickbeard would not work but doing 'cd home' then 'cd bananapi' and then cd '/.sickbeard'
[22:56] <Paul1233> works
[22:57] <freezer> because you miss a space?
[22:57] <Guest99694> why not do . cd ~/.sickbeard
[22:57] <freezer> and , is .
[22:58] <Paul1233> Oh yes sorry that was my mistake. It should have been /home/bananapi/.sickbeard
[22:59] <Paul1233> Here is the actual snippet : "bananapi@lemaker:~$ cd /home/bananapi/.sickbeard -bash: cd: /home/bananapi/.sickbeard: No such file or directory"
[23:01] <k1l_> Paul1233: can you pastebin the output from that 2 ways into a pastebin?
[23:04] <Paul1233> k1l_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10647051/ I'm a beginner so it must be some kind of newbie mistake
[23:05] <Paul1233> I really appreciate you taking a look
[23:08] <Amm0n> Arrick, paste the output of lspci
[23:08] <k1l_> Paul1233: erm, for me its the other way around
[23:09] <k1l_> Paul1233: is this a ubuntu?
[23:09] <Paul1233> k1l_: Yes  Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
[23:11] <Amm0n> Paul1233, check with ls -al if there is a directory .sickbeard in your home
[23:11] <Paul1233> k1l_: The tutorial I am trying to follow is http://www.gizmojunkee.com/2013/10/setup-sick-beard-on-ubuntu-12-04-server/ I was thinking the move command could have been the problem
[23:11] <Paul1233> k1l_: will do
[23:12] <Amm0n> Paul1233, maybe you created .sickbeard in / ?
[23:12] <Paul1233> k1l_: ls showed that .sickbeard exists. All other files have root as user and root as group whereas .sickbeard has bananapi and bananapi
[23:13] <k1l_> Amm0n: yep, that is what i think, too
[23:15] <tnkhanh> hi how to see when I installed a particular package?
[23:15] <Paul1233> k1l_: Oh no I believe Amm0n was correct
[23:15] <Amm0n> Paul1233, do you use sudo or in a root shell?
[23:15] <Arrick> Hey all, I am attempting to up my resolution on my monitor... however, I have an intel video card, and I installed the intel video driver, but I am at a loss as to how to get it to actually recognize that the native resolution of the monitor is 1680x1024... any help would be appreciated.
[23:16] <Amm0n> Arrick, paste the output of lspci
[23:16] <Paul1233> Amm0n: You were right, I was confused with bananapi@lemaker~$ and bananapi@lemkaer:/$
[23:16] <Arrick> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10647152/
[23:17] <Arrick> Amm0n, ^
[23:17] <tnkhanh> hi I installed vim, how do I see when I installed this package?
[23:17] <Paul1233> k1l_: Amm0n: Thank you guys so much, I really appreciate it. It seems I've made the folder in /
[23:19] <Amm0n> Arrick, and sudo lshw -C video
[23:20] <Arrick> Amm0n, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10647173/
[23:21] <Amm0n> Arrick, is your system up to date?
[23:21] <Arrick> I just installed, and it ran a slew of updates
[23:23] <Arrick> I just ran the updater, and it says the system is up to date Amm0n
[23:25] <Amm0n> Arrick, dpkg -s xserver-xorg-video-intel just check if its installed
[23:26] <Arrick> dpkg -s xserver-xorg-video-intel
[23:26] <Arrick> grrr
[23:26] <Arrick> dpkg-query: package 'xserver-xorg-video-intel' is not installed and no information is available
[23:26] <Arrick> hrmmm
[23:27] <nate_> hi all, need some help with plymouth in 14.04
[23:27] <nate_> sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth doesn't seem to do anything
[23:27] <Arrick> Amm0n, does that mean I need to install it?
[23:27] <nate_> on boot, no matter what theme i pick, it shows a solid purple screen
[23:28] <Amm0n> not sure atm, do you use ancient hardware?
[23:28] <nate_> not using any prop drivers
[23:28] <Arrick> its an HP z200 sff, warranty on it was up november last year
[23:29] <Amm0n> try sudo modinfo i915
[23:29] <Amm0n> to see if the module is loaded
[23:31] <Arrick> Amm0n, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10647247/
[23:36] <Arrick> hey Amm0n is 14.10 going to be easier to work with? I thought that was what I was downloading when this cd came down the pipe, but its 14.04
[23:37] <mathFreak> hi
[23:37] <Amm0n> Arrick, LTS is a good choice if you want a stable system
[23:37] <Amm0n> Arrick, pls past the full output of sudo lshw to check if your system can handle unity
[23:37] <Amm0n> paste*
[23:41] <Arrick> Amm0n, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10647320/
[23:43] <Amm0n> looks good, except the video driver
[23:44] <Amm0n> try to install xserver-xorg-video-intel and reboot
[23:44] <Amm0n> you didn't mess around with other drivers?
[23:44] <Arrick> nope
[23:45] <Arrick> do I try installing that from terminal with apt-get?
[23:45] <Amm0n> yes
[23:45] <Arrick> invalid operation
[23:45] <Amm0n> sudo apt-get install packagename
[23:45] <Arrick> E: Invalid operation xserver-xorg-video-intel

[23:55] <puff> somebody elsenet suggested I try to address my flaky wifi problem by:  "First thing: install latest "kernel backports" and latest firmware for your card (from git.kernel.org firmware tree)."
[23:55] <k1l_> fkxst: stop that nonsense in here
[23:55] <fkxst> what are you told

[23:58] <codenomics> Is this channel an OK place for ubuntu server q's? Or just desktop?
[23:58] <codenomics> before I ask a question and get burned
[23:59] <k1l_> codenomics: you can ask here too.
[23:59] <k1l_> (maybe the guys in #ubuntu-server are a bit more server focused though
[23:59] <Amm0n> Arrick, what happens if you try to install xserver-xorg-core and xorg-video-abi-15?
